Houston on the World Stage 2026

In 2026, Houston will take center stage as host to two of the world’s most celebrated sporting events — the World Baseball Classic and the FIFA World Cup. These tournaments are more than games; they are global touchpoints that unite nations, celebrate diversity, and showcase cities to the world.

For Houston, the opportunity is extraordinary. The World Baseball Classic affirms the city’s deep connection to the game and the international communities who bring baseball’s spirit to life. The 2026 FIFA Men's World Cup — the most watched sporting event on earth — will unite fans from across the world.

Together, these events shine a spotlight on Houston’s unmatched strengths: world-class venues, renowned hospitality, rich cultural diversity, and international connectivity. They will drive lasting economic impact, elevate Houston’s global profile, and reinforce the city’s identity as a place where the world comes together to celebrate, compete, and connect.

We are proud to share promotional assets that invite the world take part in this once-in-a-lifetime celebration.
