Ride Sound Transit during FIFA Club World Cup 2025: Matches from June 15 - 25
In effect: June 15-27
Routes: N Line & S Line
The FIFA Club World Cup 2025 will bring six matches to Lumen Field between June 15 and June 25, marking the first time the U.S. hosts the tournament. With up to 150,000 visitors expected over ten days, Sound Transit anticipates a surge in ridership, particularly on the 1 Line, where regular commuters should prepare for crowded trains. To accommodate demand, weekday Sounder schedules will see adjustments, along with additional trips on select Sound Transit Express routes to enhance service.
Due to this international tournament, riders will need to plan for extra time as we manage services to support ridership.

Please note that the Sounder schedule is being readjusted, this includes canceling some trips to reallocate train resources to provide event service.
