FIFA world cup 2026 ticket sale latest:
Presale Phase Details
- Phase 1 Visa Presale Draw (Phase 1) began September 10, 2025, at 11:00 ET and will last until September 19. It is the stage that is available only to the qualifying Visa cardholders registering with their FIFA account (FIFA ID).
- Registered and selected fans will receive an email beginning September 29, and be given a assigned purchase time beginning October 1, 2025.
- Winners of the draw can buy up to 4 tickets per game, up to 10 games and no more than 40 tickets in total.
Pricing & Pricing Dynamic System.
- It will also be the inaugural Men’s World Cup to use dynamic pricing, a pricing structure wherein ticket prices change with demand- just like airline or hotel reservation systems.
- Base price begins at 60 on group-stage matches, and end match tickets go as high as 6,730.
- FIFA: it makes sense: dynamic pricing is part of the market in North America and maximises revenue of 211 member associations.
Upcoming Ticket Sale Phases
After the Visa Presale Draw, three additional sales phases are:
- Phase 2 – Early Bird Draw:Registration should be received October 27-31, purchases distributed mid November through early December.
- Phase 3 -Random Selection Draw: Starting in the occurrence of the last World Cup draw (not yet set, which will take place on Dec 5, 2025, in Washington, D.C.). Fans may then apply to certain match that they like.
- Phase 4 – First-Come, First-Served Sales: The last chance as the tournament is closing in. It is at this point that any 2 remaining tickets will be sold to whoever is quickest.
Why This Matters
- The dynamic pricing and the phased, lottery-based approach in particular, is a change in the way FIFA handles high-demand events. It has made it an object of criticism that it may price out fans.
- Visa exclusivity in early access indicates another change in the direction of monetizing partnerships and structured draws versus general availability.
What You Can Do
- Make or sign in with your FIFA ID and prepare a Visa card if you do not do it yet.
- Watch your email dated 29 September on any purchase time slot assignment.
- Record the dates and information of subsequent stages- particularly should you be targeting games in certain cities or against certain opponents.
increase your odds to win the FIFA World Cup 2026 presale:
You are more likely to win the Presale Draws, and here are tips to increase your odds.
- Register Early with FIFA ID
o Ensure that your FIFA.com account (FIFA ID) is set up and authenticated in advance of deadlines. You can be disqualified by errors or delays in the registration.
- Use a Visa Card (for Phase 1)
o Visa cards are the only cards accepted in the current Visa Presale Draw. Actively maintained Visa account will enhance your eligibility.
- Request Multiple Location Matches.
o Rather than just demanding tickets to high demand matches (such as opening match, USA/Mexico/Canada matches or knockout matches), distribute applications among fewer-popular venues and group-stage matches. They are more likely to be allocated.
- Go for Package Options
o TEAM-Particular Playbook Ticket Series or Venue Packages are occasionally supplied by FIFA. These are not as competitive as individual blockbuster matches and these boost your chances.
- Stay Flexible with Dates
o Games that are set during the weekdays or in stadiums with lower capacity, usually have fewer applications. Providing you can bend, you increase your chances.
- Don’t Exceed Quotas
o You may request a maximum of tickets:5 per match, 10 matches in total (40 tickets). No need to waste money unnecessarily on maxing out, Fair distribution can be a priority of FIFA.
- Prepare for Phase 2 & 3
o In case you do not succeed at the first stage (Phase 1), you can enroll on Phase 2 (Early Bird) and Phase 3 (Random Selection after the official draw). Such subsequent stages may be even better in case demand changes.
The impact of Dynamic Pricing on Matches.
Dynamic pricing is a novelty at the men world cup and it operates in the same way as at airlines or a hotel pricing:
- Increased Matches=Increased Prices.
o Host games, semifinals and the final USA/Mexico/Canada will soar upwards in the quickest possible time. Initial prices can be low but they increase drastically as supply becomes low.
- Under Matches = Stabilized Pricing.
o Smaller country-country, or less central city (e.g. Kansas City, Edmonton would rejoin, etc.) games can remain close to base price (~$60100).
- Timing Matters
o Prices may be raised immediately fans swamp the system. Delay in your allocated window might cost you more.
- Seat Category Fluctuations
o The sharpest increases will occur in premium categories (the closer to the pitch, the central stands). Category 3 (higher levels) will probably be the cheapest.
- Wildcards are Knockout Rounds.
o Due to the lack of knowledge of teams at the time, Round of 16 and Quarterfinal tickets prices might remain moderate initially, however, will increase dramatically in case popular teams make it though (e.g. Brazil, Argentina, USA).
- Secondary Market Pressure
o The official resale system of FIFA will also operate under the demand-based pricing which might complicate the reselling process of fans who want to exchange their tickets at affordable rates.
Pro Tip: Get a presale position? Purchase at once – even when you are not sure what match you will be attending. FIFA will be able to resell officially later should you need to but waiting leaves you at the mercy of quick price increases.
