Quick Answer

Tickets are sold exclusively through FIFA.com/tickets. You must create a FIFA ID to purchase. The Last-Minute Sales Phase opens in April 2026 on a first-come, first-served basis. Prices range from $60 (Supporter Entry) to $6,730 (Final, Category 1).

Detailed Explanation

FIFA is the only authorized ticket seller for the 2026 World Cup. All previous sales rounds used a ballot (lottery) system, but the upcoming Last-Minute Sales Phase will offer instant confirmation. A new Supporter Entry tier priced at a flat $60 per match — including the final — is available exclusively to fans of qualified teams. Standard tickets are split into 4 categories by seating location, with prices varying by match stage and host city. The FIFA Resale/Exchange Marketplace allows safe peer-to-peer ticket transfers. Warning: tickets purchased from unauthorized third-party websites may be cancelled without refund.
