Overview

  • The new sales window opened Dec. 11 at 13:00 Brasília time and closes Jan. 13 at the same hour.
  • Fans must apply at fifa.com/tickets using a FIFA ID, and there is no advantage to applying early as all requests have equal odds.
  • Applicants can select specific teams, matches, ticket categories and quantities, and some requests may be only partially approved.
  • Roughly 8% of each venue’s capacity is reserved for national federations’ quotas, with Brazil’s CBF allocation sold exclusively by FIFA.
  • If demand exceeds supply, FIFA will allocate tickets by lottery in February, notify successful applicants by email, and automatically debit payments between January and February 2026.
