Riyadh is set to host two major gatherings focused on sports infrastructure and stadium investment in 2026, bringing together industry professionals, technology providers and solution developers.

The 4th Stadiums and Sports Innovation Summit is scheduled for 18–19 May 2026 in Riyadh. Guest registration is listed as free through a complimentary pass, while technology and solution providers require paid registration starting at USD 1,799. No Saudi Riyal price has been published for this tier.

Later in the year, the 2nd World Stadiums and Arenas Summit will take place on 14–15 October 2026 at the Hilton Riyadh Hotel & Residences. The primary delegate pass is priced at USD 50 plus 5% VAT, for a total of USD 52.50, while the vendor delegate pass is USD 999 plus 5% tax, totaling USD 1,048.95. No Saudi Riyal pricing has been listed for either pass.

Registration opens at 08:00 on both days of the summits.

Why it matters

The two events underline Riyadh's growing role as a regional hub for sports business and investment, in line with the Kingdom's wider push to expand its sports sector and venue infrastructure. For residents and professionals working in sports, construction, technology and events, the summits offer a direct window into the companies and innovations shaping future stadiums and arenas.

No official Saudi-government registration channel has been identified for either summit, and no Saudi-specific validity period or Saudi Riyal fee has been published for the passes. Attendees are advised to confirm all details directly through the official event channels before registering.
