Overview
- FIFA reports demand equal to 30 times the available tickets and 3.4 times the total attendance across all previous World Cups.
- Requests have come from fans in more than 200 countries, led by the United States, followed by Germany and the United Kingdom.
- Ticket prices remain unchanged for this phase as FIFA adds a $60 supporter category for qualified teams with limited allocation per match, including the final.
- Applications must be submitted via FIFA.com/tickets using a FIFA ID, and the time of request within the window does not affect selection odds.
- The 2026 tournament’s expanded format—48 teams, 104 matches across 16 host cities in the U.S., Mexico and Canada—drives demand as affordability concerns and resale markups draw criticism.
