The countdown to the FIFA World Cup 2026 has officially begun, and excitement is already reaching fever pitch.
How to Buy 2026 World Cup Tickets
Phase 1: Visa Presale Lottery (September 10–19, 2025)
The first ticket window opened on September 10, 2025, at 11 a.m. ET and runs until September 19, 2025. This phase is exclusively available to Visa cardholders. To participate, you must apply during this period using your FIFA ID and a valid Visa card with 3D Secure enabled.
Unlike a direct sale, this stage operates as a lottery system. Fans who apply will enter a draw, and winners will receive time slots to purchase tickets starting October 1, 2025.
FIFA has announced that approximately 1 million tickets will be allocated in this first phase.
Phase 2: Early Ticket Lottery (Late October 2025)
If you miss out on Phase 1, don’t worry. A second lottery is scheduled for late October 2025, with successful applicants invited to purchase tickets between mid-November and early December. This is another chance to secure seats before the final draw of teams.
Phase 3: Random Selection After the Final Draw
Once the official tournament draw is completed on December 5, 2025, fans will have the opportunity to apply for tickets to specific matches. This phase is expected to see a surge in demand, as supporters will now know exactly where their favorite teams are playing.
Phase 4: First-Come, First-Served
The last chance to buy official tickets will be during the first-come, first-served sales phase in early 2026. Any remaining inventory from the lotteries will be made available, but competition is likely to be fierce.
For those looking for a premium experience, FIFA’s hospitality packages are already on sale. Prices range from $3,500 to $73,200 per person, depending on the package and match.
These packages include VIP seating, catering, and exclusive amenities. While costly, they are the most secure way to guarantee entry to the biggest games.
