2026 FIFA World Cup: How to get tickets to games in the U.S. and across North America

The 2026 FIFA World Cup begins in June 2026, and preparations are already underway for the global soccer tournament that will take place all across North America. 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, though with he tournament’s dynamic pricing, pricing can change quickly based on demand. While there are cheaper seats to be had, they’re only available to those lucky enough to have been selected in the official ticket lottery – there’s still one more round of the lottery which will be live after the final draw on Dec. 5. You’ll need to register on the FIFA site for access. (You can also browse the resale market, you might get lucky with a deal there.)

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 the final ticket lottery, 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. (More information about ticket prices and tiers, accessibility, and more can be found here.)

How much are 2026 World Cup tickets?

Currently, individual tickets for the 2026 World Cup run anywhere from $1,400 to $3,500 (if you’re searching for tickets for matches in Mexico or Canada, don’t be scared off by their higher price tags — they’re all in the same price range after adjusting for conversion rates). Tickets for the group stage, knockout rounds, and the bronze final are currently available. It’s important to note that FIFA is employing a dynamic pricing strategy, so prices may fluctuate as we get closer to the tournament, depending on demand. For those lucky enough to enter and be selected in the ticketing lottery, prices are significantly less – they’re broken out into four categories based on seating, and range from $60 to $620, but these prices are not available to the general public.

Hospitality packages, which guarantee entry to multiple matches are also on sale now and start at $5,300. (Note that depending on the venue and package you select, some of these packages can cost up to $68,000 per person, and while that price includes food, drinks and premium seating, it doesn’t include travel expenses or accommodations.)

Tickets are also available through FIFA’s own resale marketplace and on third-party resale sites like StubHub already have single-game matches available, with some starting around $275 per seat and going up from there, depending on the game and venue.
