Every four years, the most-watched sporting event occurs over a month. While millions will watch from the comfort of their homes throughout the tournament, some will have the privilege of watching World Cup 2026 matches live and in person.
But how does one obtain World Cup tickets, and what are their prices?
When Do World Cup Tickets Go on Sale?
World Cup tickets will be sold in three phases; the first of which, called the Visa Presale Draw, concluded on Sept. 19.
Ticket registration for Phase 2 will run from Oct. 27 to Oct. 31. Phase 3 will start soon after the World Cup Draw, which takes place on Dec. 5.
How Do I Get World Cup Tickets?
Registration for Phase 2, the Early Ticket Draw, occurs from Oct. 27 to Oct. 31. Those interested in obtaining tickets must complete an application, which will be followed by a randomized selection process. Successful applicants receive a designated time to purchase tickets.
Phase 3 occurs after the Dec. 5 World Cup Draw. Interested parties will again be required to complete an application, and a subsequent random selection draw will take place thereafter.
The difference, however, is that applicants choose specific matches they’d like to attend, including those with matches featuring World Cup odds favourites and top-ranked teams with shorter soccer odds at the BetMGM sportsbook.
Fans will have one more opportunity to acquire tickets through official means via FIFA closer to the tournament, on a first-come, first-served basis. If you’re interested in securing tickets at any stage, you can apply directly through FIFA’s official website.
How Much Are World Cup Tickets?
World Cup tickets will, at least initially, range from $60 for group stage matches to $6,730 for tickets to the final.
However, as it did for the Club World Cup, FIFA has adopted a dynamic pricing structure. That means the price of each ticket will increase or decrease depending on demand.
How Much Are the Cheapest Tickets For the 2026 World Cup?
Group stage tickets are currently available for $60, the lowest price. Prices may increase if demand is high, though.
