FIFA Opens Visa-Only Presale Draw for 2026 World Cup Tickets Sept. 10–19

Selected applicants will be notified starting Sept. 29 and assigned purchase windows from Oct. 1 under a randomized, account-based system with dynamic pricing.

Overview

  • Entry to the first ticket phase requires a FIFA ID, a valid Visa card, and buyers must be at least 18 years old, with applications accepted throughout the Sept. 10–19 window.
  • FIFA expects roughly one million tickets in this wave, with limits of up to four tickets per match and applications for up to ten matches, and a time slot does not guarantee availability.
  • Published price bands start at about $60 for group-stage seats and can reach roughly $6,730 for the final, with prices subject to change based on demand.
  • Further access follows in an Early Ticket Draw from Oct. 27–31 and a Random Selection Draw after the Dec. 5 tournament draw, before any remaining tickets are sold first-come closer to 2026.
  • An official FIFA resale platform is planned, while partner channels will run in parallel, including Canada Soccer’s lottery and American Airlines AAdvantage mileage redemptions beginning in October.
