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 Men's World Cup. These tournaments are more than games; they are global touchpoints that unite nations, celebrate diversity, and showcase cities to 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.

Houston First Corporation is proud to share promotional assets that invite the world take part in this once-in-a-lifetime celebration.
