How to buy Czech Republic World Cup tickets?
As of today, the major official World Cup ticket lotteries (including the Visa Presale and early Random Selection Draws) have concluded. With record-breaking demand, primary availability via the initial phases is now extremely limited.
Here is the current status of ticket sales:
- Last-Minute Sales Phase: This phase is currently live and operates on a first-come, first-served basis. Unlike the lotteries, these are real-time transactions. This is the final window to buy directly from FIFA.
- Official FIFA Resale Marketplace: This is the only authorized platform for fans to buy and sell verified tickets at face value. It will remain open until the end of the tournament.
- Secondary Marketplaces: Fans can also find tickets on platforms like StubHub. These are often the best options for high-demand knockout games, though prices may vary from face value. Always check the T&Cs of the secondary site before purchasing.

What to expect from Czech Republic at World Cup 2026
The Czechs rode a rollercoaster of emotion during the World Cup qualifiers. From the lows of losing 2-1 to the Faroe Islands and being trounced 5-0 by Croatia, to the highs of beating the Republic of Ireland and Denmark in the playoffs.
Czech Republic fans definitely get their money's worth when they go and see their side in action. Miroslav Koubek's crew took the full distance during both playoff successes, with nail-biting penalty shootouts required. The frenzied followers will be hoping for more dramatic moments in North America this summer.
While the Czech Republic hasn't been to a World Cup tournament since 2006, they do have a long and illustrious history in the event. As well as being runners-up in both 1934 and 1962, they also reached the quarter-finals in 1938 and 1990, under their former guise of Czechoslovakia.
Although they've never reached the summit globally, the Czechs have on the continental stage, when they were crowned European champions in 1976.
Patrik Schick top-scored for the Czech Republic during qualifying, and he'll be the team's focal point once again in North America. The striker has netted almost a goal every two games for his club Bayer Leverkusen (103 goals in 210 games), and he's got a similar record for his country (25 goals in 52 games).
Other important cogs in the Czech machinery include midfielder Tomáš Souček, whose box-to-box energy will prove crucial, and Ladislav Krejčí, the team captain who marshals the defence.
Who is in the Czech Republic World Cup Squad? Final 26-Man Lineup
Under the guidance of manager Miroslav Koubek, who stands out as one of the oldest coaches in tournament history at 74, the Czech Republic national football team (Národní tým) has officially locked in its final 26-man roster. Returning to the global tournament phase for the first time since 2006, Czechia faces a highly competitive Group A gauntlet alongside South Korea, South Africa, and co-hosts Mexico.
The squad establishes a physically imposing, disciplined spine anchored by West Ham midfield engine Tomáš Souček, captain Ladislav Krejčí, and lethal Bayer Leverkusen marksman Patrik Schick.
Whether you are plotting out their path to the knockout rounds or tracking secondary market ticket availability for the critical group matches across Guadalajara, Atlanta, and Mexico City, here is the official 26-player roster representing Czechia:
