With one year until the FIFA World Cup, a new report Wednesday projected seven matches scheduled to be held in Boston in 2026 are expected to bring in a monumental $1.1 billion in local economic impact to New England.

“People are going to come from all over the world, all over the country, to watch teams play in Massachusetts,” said Gov. Maura Healey on Wednesday. “It’s super exciting.”

Boston is scheduled to host seven matches throughout the 2026 soccer tournament, including one quarterfinal game. The matches will be held at Gillette Stadium, which will be temporarily renamed Boston Stadium during the events, and run from June 13 to July 9.

New projections from Boston 2026 Host Committee and Meet Boston forecast over two million visitors staying and spending in the New England region for the games, facilitating the anticipated $1.1 billion in economic impact.

The matches are expected to create over 5,000 jobs and generate over $60 million in tax revenue through the region, the report states.

“Hosting the most-watched international sporting event on the planet will bring millions of global fans to the region,” said Mike Loynd, CEO of FIFA World Cup Boston 2026. “As we gear up for this monumental event, hosting seven matches including a quarter-final game in Boston Stadium, we are incredibly proud and excited to showcase how Boston does sports.”

The city unveiled a countdown clock to tick off the moments until the start of the tournament at Faneuil Hall and an “It All Started Here” campaign takeover at South Station to highlight the one-year mark Wednesday.

Boston last held six matches of the FIFA World Cup as one of nine host cities in 1994. The 2026 tournament will be the largest ever with 60 matches in the U.S., 10 in Canada and 10 in Mexico. Forty-eight teams and over 1,100 players are scheduled to participate.

Organizers are “working diligently to ensure that fans from around the world will have the best and most memorable experience possible when they come to Boston Stadium,” said Meet Boston CEO Martha Sheridan, adding that “globally, all eyes will be on Boston.”

The teams playing in Boston will be determined later this year during the official draw.

Healey was asked Wednesday about the effect of travel bans and federal policies expected to impact tourism heading into 2026.

“I know that we as a team in Massachusetts are going to do everything we can to promote Massachusetts,” Healey said. “This is a great opportunity for tourism, a great opportunity for our economy, and that’s what we’re really focused on. So in terms of how other things may factor in and play out, we’ll just have to wait and see.”

Events leading into the FIFA tournament, including the FIFA Fan Festival and more, will be announced throughout the year, organizers said, and more information can be found at BostonFWC26.com.
