The upcoming World Cup has expanded from 32 to 48 teams, with a total of 104 matches played in 15 major cities around the U.S., Mexico and Canada. With fans from every country clamoring to see the action in person, prices for next year’s tournament are high, with the cheapest seats still costing over $1,000. and multi-game packages costing over $6,000.

If you’re interested in buying tickets to the 2026 World Cup, here’s everything you need to know about purchasing individual game tickets, signing up for multi-game packages, pricing and more.

If you’ve been following World Cup news, you’ll know that tickets to matches are not cheap. Currently, the average price for a group stage match is about $1,500-2,000 per ticket; you can browse available seats on the FIFA website. Additionally, 2026 World Cup hospitality packages are available. These guarantee fans seats to a set number of matches, a group of matches all at the same venue, or for a single team’s early games — if you’re hoping to watch one of the host nation’s games, this is the only way to do so.

These tickets cost significantly more than a regular single-game ticket, starting at $6,750, with some packages priced at $8,275 (note that prices and availability vary greatly depending on the team and venue). Fans interested in purchasing a multi-match package for multiple games at different venues or who would like to request VIP seating can sign up for a special registration list.
