As anticipation for the 2026 FIFA World Cup continues to surge across the United States, U.S. Soccer has achieved a record-breaking financial milestone that reflects the nation’s growing passion for the sport. According to the federation’s latest annual financial report, U.S. Soccer generated a remarkable $263.7 million in revenue during 2025, marking a 37% increase from 2024 — the highest in nearly a decade.
Record revenues signal growing momentum for 2026
This impressive figure represents U.S. Soccer’s most successful year since 2017, when the organization benefited from hosting the 2016 Copa America. The surge underscores the country’s mounting excitement for the upcoming World Cup, which will see the majority of matches played on American soil.
Despite an increase in operational costs, the federation managed to close the fiscal year with a net profit of $8.3 million, only a slight dip from last year’s $9.1 million. The numbers indicate strong financial health as U.S. Soccer continues to expand its footprint ahead of the global event.
Sponsorship surge fuels financial growth
A key driver behind this record year was the sharp rise in sponsorship revenue. The U.S. Soccer Federation reported a 19% jump in sponsorship earnings, totaling $121.1 million for 2025. This growth was fueled by new partnerships with prominent brands, including The Home Depot, Bank of America, Henkel, Jim Beam, and Haleon.
These deals not only strengthen U.S. Soccer’s commercial portfolio but also demonstrate the increasing appeal of American soccer to major corporate partners. With the global spotlight soon to shine on the U.S. as a host nation, brands are seizing the opportunity to align themselves with the sport’s historic rise in popularity.
Philanthropy and infrastructure boost U.S. Soccer’s vision
Beyond sponsorship, U.S. Soccer’s fundraising efforts have also seen a dramatic uptick. The federation raised $50.3 million in philanthropic contributions, a significant boost that aligns with its ambitious long-term goals.
One of the central projects fueling this momentum is the $250 million National Training Center being constructed outside Atlanta. This state-of-the-art facility aims to elevate player development and national team programs while solidifying the United States as a global powerhouse in soccer infrastructure.
A new era for American Soccer
With financial growth, infrastructure expansion, and record sponsorships converging ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, U.S. Soccer’s latest figures paint an optimistic picture for the sport’s future. The organization’s momentum mirrors the growing cultural embrace of soccer in the United States, setting the stage for what could be a defining moment in American sports history.
