SPARKS, Md. — The Baltimore area will get a taste of Olympic-style lacrosse when USA Lacrosse welcomes some of the world’s top lacrosse players for the 2026 Atlas Cup from Oct. 23-25 at its national headquarters in Sparks, Md.
The three-day event will feature the men’s and women’s teams from Canada, the Haudenosaunee Nationals, Ireland and the United States playing the sixes discipline of the sport that will be used at the LA28 Olympics.
Full-event passes go on sale Wednesday, July 29, at early-bird pricing, the best rates of the entire campaign, and every early purchase locks in the lowest price before rates rise at the gate. Parking is included with each ticket order, but limited in quantity and reserved on a first-come basis, so buying early is the surest way to guarantee both the best price and a parking spot. USA Lacrosse members benefit from even deeper discounts.
New for 2026, the Atlas Cup VIP experience puts fans closer to the action than ever before. For the first time, VIP guests will enjoy exclusive field-level sideline seating — the best seats in the house — right alongside the world's top players. The upgraded VIP package also includes premium parking in the closest lot, complimentary food and full beverage service, and an exclusive VIP gift.
This marks the second year in a row that Canada, the Haudenosaunee Nationals and the United States will compete in the Atlas Cup while Ireland is making its first appearance.
In the highly-successful inaugural event last year, the USA women swept through the competition to win the championship and Chloe Humphrey earned the Titan Award as the event’s outstanding player. Canada won the men’s championship on the strength of a 23-18 victory over the U.S. team. Jeff Teat, the men’s recipient of the Titan Award, had six goals in that victory for Canada.
In addition to the games, the Atlas Cup will have fan zones, autographs, exclusive merchandise, family-fun activities, food trucks and entertainment throughout the weekend, along with unprecedented up-close access to the best players in the sport.
