Tickets for the 2026 FIFA World Cup will go on sale starting September 10, 2025. This marks the beginning of the general ticket sales phase when any fan will be able to purchase tickets through FIFA's official ticketing platform at FIFA.com/tickets. The first sales phase includes a "Visa Presale Draw" open only to Visa cardholders, running from September 10 to September 19, 2025, where participants enter a lottery for the chance to buy tickets. Those selected will be notified by the end of September. After this, additional sales phases will follow, with differing purchasing processes and ticket options announced later. FIFA emphasizes that it is the sole authorized seller of World Cup tickets to avoid scams, and there will be an official resale platform for secure secondary transactions. The ticket prices will vary by match stage, with estimates for standard tickets ranging from about $82 to $706 depending on the game, while premium hospitality packages are available now at higher prices. In summary:
- General sale starts: September 10, 2025
- Visa presale draw opens: September 10 to 19, 2025 (Visa cardholders only)
- Official purchase platform: FIFA.com/tickets
- Multiple sales phases extending through the tournament dates from June to July 2026
- No tickets sold at stadiums during the event
This timeline and process reflect FIFA's aim to provide a fair and organized ticket distribution for the 2026 World Cup hosted by Canada, Mexico, and the United States.
