The 2026 FIFA World Cup is projected to inject USD 17 billion into the US economy, with the biggest gains extending far beyond football. Accommodation & Food is expected to lead with USD 2.38 billion, followed by Real Estate (USD 1.95 billion) and Wholesale & Retail (USD 1.47 billion). Together, these three sectors account for USD 5.8 billion, over 34% of the tournament's total projected economic impact, highlighting how global sporting events fuel tourism, consumer spending, and infrastructure demand.

The benefits also spread across key industries, with Technical Activities (USD 1.31 billion), Financial & Insurance (USD 1.11 billion), Public Administration & Defense (USD 1.09 billion), and Air Transport (USD 0.99 billion) all receiving substantial boosts. Meanwhile, Administrative Assistance (USD 0.73 billion), ICT (USD 0.65 billion), and Health & Social Services (USD 0.61 billion) underscore the wide-ranging economic ripple effect. Notably, the remaining USD 4.86 billion, nearly 29% of the total, is distributed across other sectors, reinforcing that mega sporting events act as powerful economic multipliers, not just entertainment spectacles.
