Everett Fan Zone

In addition to the exciting matches played in Seattle, Everett will also be a part of the action serving as one of nine Fan Zones in Washington state! Bellingham, Bremerton, Tacoma, Olympia/Lacey, Yakima, Spokane, Pasco/Richland/Kennewick (Tri-Cities) and Vancouver are the other sites.

According to the Seattle FIFA World Cup 26™ Local Organizing Committee (SeattleFWC26) Watch Party Playbook, the official fan zones ” will be places for fans to gather across the state, watch matches together and share excitement for the beautiful game in spaces that reflect their communities.”

This means that for all six games played in Seattle, the Everett Fan Zone will be active by hosting watch parties.

A Watch Party “is gathering where fans come together to watch live sports—often in public spaces like parks, community centers, rooftops or online via shared streaming platforms,” according to the Playbook. “Home-based watch parties don’t require licensing. Tune in to FOX or Telemundo for match schedules. … FOX and Telemundo are the official FIFA Broadcast Partners in the United States. Viewing party exhibitors are responsible for all technical aspects of receiving broadcast.

“Broadcast Requirements for all license types: For opening and closing matches, broadcast coverage starts 20 minutes before kickoff to ensure coverage of the ceremony until at least 10 minutes after the match ends. For all other matches, start coverage 10 minutes before and after kickoff.”
