Still basking in the glory of their Super Bowl victory, the Philadelphia Eagles are just one element that makes Pennsylvania a powerhouse for sports teams and events. While 2025 is off to a great start for the Commonwealth, 2026 will be a banner year as it welcomes four major sporting events to the great state of Pennsylvania with three hosted in Philadelphia and one in Pittsburgh.
NFL Draft | April 2026 – The first NFL draft took place in Pennsylvania at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Philadelphia. For its 90th anniversary, Pittsburgh (with its 90 neighborhoods), also known as the City of Champions, has the honor of hosting the next generation of NFL greats as they’re drafted into the league.
2026 PGA Championship | May 2026 – Taking place on the verdant fairways of Aronimink Golf Club in Delaware County, the PGA Championship brings together top athletes for a fore-star event. This is the first time in nearly 50 years that the PGA Championship has been held in the Philadelphia region and the first time in more than six decades that the Aronimink Golf Club has been the host course.
2026 FIFA World Cup | June 2026 – Soccer fever is sweeping the nation, and Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia will be the site of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. All eyes will look to Philadelphia when the games coincide with the 250th Anniversary of America over the July 4th holiday in the City of Brotherly Love and the birthplace of our nation. From the fan festival to the field, the city will welcome visitors from around the globe.
2026 MLB All-Star Game | July 2026 – Nothing is more American than apple pie and baseball. Top players from both the American and National leagues will go bat-to-bat at Citizens Bank Park for an all-star experience of our national pastime. Philadelphia has had the honor of hosting the All-Star Game four times, but this will mark the game’s debut at Citizens Bank Park.
