The first of six FIFA Men’s World Cup 2026 matches at Lumen Field in Seattle (referred to as Seattle Stadium for the FIFA World Cup) between Belgium and Egypt kicks off at noon, Monday, June 15.

On game days, street closures will go into effect four hours before kickoff and stay in place until approximately two hours after the end of the match. There will be significant security and crowd-control measures in place around the stadium, with no on-site parking at the stadium.

Both King Street Center (KSC) and the Graybar Building are located within the secure road closure zone. It is recommended that employees who are scheduled to work in KSC and the Graybar Building on game days and have the option of working remotely, adjusting work schedules, or working at an alternative location should be given these options on game days. They must discuss these options beforehand with their supervisor and obtain their pre-approval. Approvals will be based on maintaining normal work operations and service delivery.

For employees working in other buildings in the downtown Seattle campus, please submit requests for schedule changes ahead of time to your supervisor. Supervisors will endeavor to be flexible with these requests while ensuring normal work operations and service delivery are maintained.
