Epicenter Week 2026

In 2026, Epicenter Week runs five days in Portland where every part of women’s sports comes together in one place. A leadership summit at Nike’s headquarters runs alongside live games from the Portland Thorns (NWSL) and the Portland Fire (WNBA), the opening of the Kaiser Permanente Performance Center—the first-of-its-kind dual‑sport facility built for professional women athletes—and community events.

At its center is The Epicenter: Women’s Global Sports Summit, presented by Nike, on August 20 — an invite‑only convening where owners, investors, athletes, and industry leaders tackle the decisions shaping the future of women’s sports: league governance, capital, performance, and athlete power.
