FIFA World Cup 2026 Tickets: Last-Minute Sales Phase Now Open for All 104 Matches
Latest News · Global
A final wave of fifa world cup 2026 tickets went live on April 22 — 50 days before the tournament opener.
The window to secure your place at the biggest football tournament in history is open. FIFA launched the Last-Minute Sales Phase for fifa world cup 2026 tickets on April 22, 2026, exactly 50 days before the first ball is kicked. For the first time in this sales cycle, tickets covering all 104 matches — from the group-stage opener to the final at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey — were released simultaneously to the global public.
The sale went live at 11 a.m. Eastern Time (8 a.m. Pacific) on FIFA's official ticketing platform at fifa.com/tickets. Given the scale of demand — more than five million tickets had already been sold through earlier phases — digital waiting rooms and virtual queues formed within minutes of the sale opening. FIFA's system allowed buyers to select specific seats from an interactive stadium map or opt for a "best available" placement to move through the queue faster.
Multiple pricing tiers are available across all matches, with entry-level categories starting at competitive price points and premium options — including select front-row seat categories — priced higher depending on the match stage. For group-stage games involving a qualifying nation, FIFA is making seats available to that country's national federation at $60, ensuring supporters from each of the 48 competing nations have access at an accessible price point.
Hospitality packages, which bundle premium seating with food, beverage and exclusive tournament experiences, are also available through FIFA's official hospitality provider. These are separate from standard match tickets and sold via a dedicated platform.
The Last-Minute Sales Phase runs on a rolling basis through the end of the tournament on July 19. FIFA expects to release additional batches of tickets throughout the competition as returned allocations, unused federation tickets and venue resettlement inventory become available. Fans who miss the initial drop should check back regularly rather than assume the market is closed.
The fifa 26 tournament spans 16 host cities across the United States, Canada and Mexico, with 80 matches staged in the US alone. Venues include iconic stadiums such as the Rose Bowl in Los Angeles, AT&T Stadium in Dallas, and SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, alongside newer facilities that have been upgraded to meet FIFA's technical and capacity requirements. The final takes place on July 19 at MetLife Stadium.
Two important caveats apply to every purchase. First, FIFA strongly advises buying only through the official platform — secondary market sales via unofficial channels void the ticket and may result in stadium entry being refused. An official peer-to-peer resale and exchange marketplace exists within the FIFA ticketing site for holders who need to transfer tickets legitimately. Second, a match ticket does not guarantee entry into the United States, Canada or Mexico. Supporters travelling internationally must confirm their visa status and apply for any required entry documentation well in advance of match day.
