Overview

  • The Visa Presale Draw runs Sept. 10–19 for registered FIFA ID holders using eligible Visa cards, with notifications starting Sept. 29 and purchase windows beginning Oct. 1.
  • FIFA will apply variable pricing from day one, adjusting ticket costs by demand after testing the model at this year’s Club World Cup.
  • Approximately one million tickets will be available in the first presale wave, according to FIFA’s director of ticketing and hospitality, Falk Eller.
  • Purchases are capped at four tickets per person per match and 40 total, with single‑match, venue‑specific and team‑specific options plus planned supporter and conditional supporter tickets.
  • Further lotteries are scheduled for Oct. 27–31 and after the Dec. 5 final draw, with a later first‑come, first‑served round and an official resale platform where prices will not be capped.
