The Pagliacci Pitch is BACK

Soccer has pulsed through this city for more than a century. This summer, the world arrives to celebrate the global game. Lumen Field will host six World Cup matches. Pioneer Square and Sodo will be packed with revelers, drum lines, brass horns, parades. The biggest stage soccer has to offer will be on our home turf.

But you don’t have to wait until June to feel it.

Ballard FC and Salmon Bay FC, semi-pro clubs, are a pipeline to the pros featuring top collegiate talent, primarily from Pacific Northwest universities. Both teams kick off their seasons on May 15. Ballard FC hosts FC Olympia, while Salmon Bay FC is away at FC Olympia.

And we’re back as the Pitch Sponsor for both clubs. As believers in all things local, we’re thrilled to renew our partnership for another season. This year, we’re also the jersey sleeve sponsor for both clubs. Look for us on every player who steps onto the Pagliacci Pitch.

On match day, show your ticket at any Pagliacci location serving slices and get a second slice free (excludes Valley). Our Magnolia store is a block from the stadium, so it’s the natural stop before kickoff or after the final whistle. Select fans at the games will also have a chance to win a $100 Pagliacci gift card.

June 6 Tailgate at Magnolia

On June 6, we’ll host a tailgate party at our Magnolia location with an outside beer garden. Grab a pre-game pint and bring your match ticket for BOGO slices. A KEXP DJ will be on hand spinning tunes to keep things lively. Stay tuned for details of a follow-up tailgate on June 24 when both teams have home games.

Beginning their fourth season, Ballard FC is coming off another strong campaign. Salmon Bay FC, Ballard’s women’s sister club, returns for its second season after its 2025 debut. There’s more room for everyone this year. The clubs privately funded a stadium expansion, adding 267 aluminum bleacher seats to the southeast section, finished and ready before opening night. That’s a 25% bump in seated capacity. An answer to the growing demand and another sign that Seattle is a soccer city.

Come join the passionate fanbase in the neighborly confines of Interbay Stadium to watch tomorrow’s pros. Limited season ticket packages are still available, and single match tickets feature seated ($18), standing room ($14), and field level tickets ($40). Most matches sell out, so don’t wait too long. There isn’t a bad seat, and the atmosphere is community-driven, accessible, and fun for all ages.

See you at the Pagliacci Pitch.
