Austria completed their first mission, successfully qualifying for the World Cup after almost 28 years. Now they look to progress to the knockout stages for the first time since 1954.
Ralf Rangnick’s men took a lot of confidence from Euro 2024, where they recorded their best-ever continental performance, and they’ll be hopeful of making further strides forward in North America.
Austria kicks off their World Cup 2026 campaign on June 16 against Jordan at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara.

How to buy Austria 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 Austria at the World Cup 2026
Despite losing 1-0 to Romania in Bucharest last October, Austria regained their focus to finish top of their World Cup qualifying group. They recorded six wins from eight starts, including a 10-0 romp against San Marino.
Marko Arnautovic scored four goals during that record-breaking win and, in doing so, officially became Austria's all-time top goalscorer with 45 goals. He's added two more to his tally since.
Austria has maintained their momentum in 2026, clinching friendly wins against two World Cup-bound sides in the shape of Ghana and South Korea. The 5-1 win in Vienna, over a Ghana side that featured Thomas Partey, Jordan Ayew, and Antoine Semenyo, was particularly impressive.
The last time Austria featured at a World Cup tournament, they failed to win a game. At France 98, they would draw 1-1 with both Cameroon and Chile, before losing 2-1 against Italy. They’ll be hoping for an improved performance in North America this summer.
