Overview
- On July 15, FIFA launched its 2026 ticket program and opened FIFA-ID registration on fifa.com ahead of the first sales window kicking off September 10, 2025.
- Club World Cup combo tickets and follow-your-team packages for knockout finals have already sold out in major markets such as Germany.
- Expectations that demand will exceed the 6.5 million-ticket supply have prompted FIFA to allocate seats through multiple lottery-style sales phases.
- Purchasing a match ticket does not guarantee entry into host countries, so fans must secure separate travel authorizations like US ESTA, Canada eTA or Mexico FMM.
- The 48-team tournament’s groups will be drawn in early December and qualification matches begin in September 2025 with potential playoffs in March 2026.
