It’s been a busy first month of 2025! Harris County has a lot to look forward to in the upcoming months. One of the most exciting things coming up is the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which kicks off in just under 500 days at NRG Stadium.
Houston and Harris County are set to host seven World Cup matches in the summer of 2026. The World Cup matches will be the biggest sporting events that Harris County has ever hosted, and they are expected to generate over $1 billion in revenue for the Harris County economy, which is an economic impact equivalent to seven Super Bowls. Preparations are well underway, with county, city and community leaders working together to make sure that Harris County is ready to show off its world-class infrastructure and thriving economy on a global stage next year.
