How to buy Mexico World Cup 2026 tickets?

As of today, the major official World Cup ticket lotteries (including the Visa Presale, Early Ticket Draw, and the post-draw Random Selection Draw) have officially concluded.

With over 500 million requests processed during those phases, primary availability is now at an all-time low.

Here's what you need to know at a glance:

• The Last-Minute Sales Phase is currently live, having launched on April 1. Unlike previous rounds, this is not a lottery. Tickets are being sold on a strictly first-come, first-served basis with immediate confirmation. This represents the final opportunity to purchase official tickets directly from FIFA.
• The Official FIFA Resale Marketplace is also open. This platform is now the primary authorized destination for fans to buy and sell verified tickets at regulated prices as the tournament approaches.
• Residents of Mexico should use the FIFA Exchange Marketplace (Mercado de Intercambio de la FIFA), which also reopened to handle local resale transactions under official safeguards.
• Alternatively, fans may look to secondary marketplaces like StubHub for last-minute tickets. Remember to check the T&Cs of any secondary sites for tickets you're buying.

What to expect from Mexico from the World Cup 2026?

Huge fervent crowds attended previous Mexico editions of the World Cup, and large numbers are expected at all the matches in the summer once again, even though hosting responsibilities are being shared with the United States and Canada.

Mexico’s 40-year wait for the greatest tournament in sport to return to its shores is almost over. The Latin American nation held momentous World Cup tournaments in both 1970 and 1986 and will become the first country to host or co-host the men's event three times.

Mexico opens its campaign, and the tournament as a whole, against South Africa. Bafana Bafana have qualified for the World Cup Finals for the first time since hosting the tournament in 2010. In their three previous appearances, they failed to progress from the group stage.

Mexico's second group opponents, South Korea, have a stronger World Cup pedigree, having qualified for each of the past ten tournaments, stretching back to Mexico '86. Having reached the knockout stages in Qatar 2022, they'll be attempting to get out of their group at successive World Cups for the first time. 

When is the FIFA World Cup 2026?
