World Cup 2026 tickets available August to October 2025

The 2026 World Cup is set to take place from June 11 to July 19, 2026, across the United States, Mexico, and Canada. This tournament will be historic as it includes a record 48 teams, competing in over 100 matches. The tournament will return to summer scheduling after the winter games in Qatar. Fans eager to attend can begin preparing for ticket purchases. Currently, tickets are not available, but fans can register their interest on FIFA's website. Hospitality tickets will also be available, though these tickets tend to be pricier and harder to get. Interested fans can also check the websites of hosting stadiums for more information. Ticket sales are expected to start in August 2025, with the sale continuing until at least October. This timeline is based on the pattern from the 2022 World Cup. FIFA will likely offer tickets in four categories, ranging from premium seating to more affordable options. There will be different ticket distribution categories. Some tickets go to fans of the teams, while others are reserved for sponsors and VIPs. Finally, there will be a general sale for everyone else. A random ballot system may be used to fairly allocate tickets due to high demand. Ticket prices have not been confirmed yet. However, fans can expect prices similar to those from the last World Cup, which averaged around £286. Prices may range from $15 to $990, depending on the match stage and seat category. The tournament will be hosted in 16 stadiums, with the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey hosting the final. The expanded format includes 104 matches over 38 days, featuring 72 group games and 32 knockout fixtures. Overall, excitement is building as fans get ready for the first World Cup hosted in North America since 1994. For updates on ticket sales and other information, fans should keep an eye on FIFA's official website.
