With this week's FIFA World Cup 2026™ Final Draw revealing which teams will play each other and where, fans and teams can finally begin preparations for soccer's biggest celebration. As an Official Supporter of the FIFA World Cup 2026, The Home Depot is ready to welcome the world to "our backyard".

"Now that we'll know who's playing where and cities now know who's coming, fans can start planning, and The Home Depot is ready to help everyone create their own World Cup moments," said Allison Kolber, Vice President of Integrated Marketing. "Our new soccer-centered campaign launching this week is just the beginning of how we'll show up for our customers through the tournament next summer."

Bringing the Game Home: Unique Experiences Across Host Cities

The Home Depot will bring activations to multiple host cities across North America - from Monterrey to Atlanta to Toronto - including large-scale experiences in select markets that celebrate each city's distinct home and outdoor living style. From outdoor viewing parties to DIY fan zones, each activation will celebrate how local communities live, gather, and cheer.

For additional opportunities to get in the World Cup spirit, families can participate in The Home Depot's June Kids Workshop, which will be soccer themed and available in all stores.

The campaign, which launched December 1, connects the pride of soccer fandom with The Home Depot's culture of Doing, showing that whether it's a name on a jersey or an apron, it represents dedication, community, and building something bigger.
