INSIGHTS FROM THE INSIDE
Epicenter of Women’s Sports is a platform dedicated to amplifying the power, potential, and progress of women in sports—in and out of the game. From impactful conversations and cultural commentary to global gatherings and grassroots movements, Epicenter of Women's Sports shines a light on the people and ideas shaping the future of sport.
EPICENTER WEEK
In 2026, Epicenter Week will return as a five-day convening in Portland, Oregon dedicated to advancing women's sports through business leadership, professional sport, community, and culture. Produced by RAJ Sports in partnership with Nike, the week brings together the people shaping the future of women's sports in the only city already living it.
Epicenter Week encompasses The Epicenter: Women's Global Sports Summit at Nike's The Philip H. Knight Campus, professional games featuring the Portland Thorns and Portland Fire, the EmpowHER Awards, and community programming.
Portland is cementing its place as the global epicenter of women's sports as the only city in the country with an NWSL and WNBA team under the same ownership group, a first-of-its-kind privately financed $150M+ dual-sport performance center built for the female athlete, and a fanbase that has been showing up for women's sports before it was a movement.
Epicenter Week is where that foundation becomes a global conversation.
August 19–23, 2026 | Portland, Oregon
