FIFA announced a new phase of ticket sales for the 2026 World Cup that starts this Wednesday, April 22 at 11:00 AM Miami time. In this lot, tickets will be available for the 104 matches of the tournament in three categories, in addition to preferential front row seats, which represents an important opportunity for those seeking to attend the World Cup event that will be held in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
Unlike the sales phases prior to the draw, this stage will allow the user to directly choose the seat of their choice or filter by the best available seat option, which provides greater flexibility to fans.
The purchase method will be immediate from the moment the user enters the portal, marks their selection and completes the payment, although FIFA warns that users may experience considerable waiting times given the high volume of interested parties.
For the first time in World Cup history, FIFA has established an official resale system on its website, where users can check the available offers. However, ticket prices for high-demand matches are considerably high.
Hospitality packages, called preferential tickets, start at $1,400 and exceed $10,000, while a ticket for the final in these exclusive areas is officially $16,475, including drinks, food, preferential access and exclusive areas in the stadium.
A World Cup that will break records
FIFA reported that to date more than five million tickets have been sold for this edition of the tournament, and the organization aims to surpass the attendance record of 3.5 million spectators established at the 1994 World Cup in the United States. which would make the 2026 World Cup the most visited in history.
For those looking to purchase their tickets in this new phase, the official FIFA portal will be the only authorized direct sales channel. Those interested should prepare for a possible virtual wait before being able to complete their purchase, especially for the most attractive matches of the tournament such as those in the knockout phases and the grand final.
