FIFA World Cup 2026 Ticket Presale Opens September 10

FIFA will open the first phase of ticket sales for the 2026 World Cup on September 10 through a Visa Presale Draw, allowing eligible Visa cardholders who register with a FIFA ID to enter for a chance to purchase tickets. Tickets for the group stage will start at $60, while premium seats for the final can cost up to $6,730, with prices subject to dynamic pricing based on market demand. The presale period runs until September 19, with randomly selected participants notified on September 29 and assigned purchase time slots starting October 1, though ticket availability is not guaranteed. FIFA has approximately 1 million tickets available in this initial phase, which includes options for single matches, venue-specific, and team-specific packages. An official resale platform will be introduced later in the year to provide a regulated environment for ticket resales without price caps, aiming to compete with unofficial resellers and comply with local regulations, including a special partnership in Mexico. FIFA and Visa emphasize the significance of this milestone as anticipation builds for the tournament across North America in June 2026.
