How to buy FIFA World Cup 2026 semi-final tickets
Football fans have several opportunities to purchase World Cup 2026 tickets via the ticket portal on the FIFA site, between now and next summer.
The various sales phases, shown below, differ in terms of purchasing processes, payment methods, and ticket products.
Visa Presale Draw
The Visa Presale Draw was considered the first opportunity to purchase World Cup 2026 tickets and ran from September 10-19. It was only open to those fans who had qualifying Visa cards.
Early Ticket Draw
The entry period for the second phase took place between October 27-31. Like the first phase, it involved an application process followed by a randomized selection.
Successful applicants received a designated time slot to purchase tickets, which commenced on November 17.
Shortly before then, there was a prioritized slot (November 12-15) for residents of the three host nations (the United States, Canada, and Mexico), which allowed them early access to buy tickets.
Random Selection Draw
Following the FIFA World Cup 2026 draw on December 5, the next phase of ticket sales commences. During this phase, fans will be able to submit further applications.
Last-Minute Sales Phase
Closer to the tournament (Spring 2026), fans will be able to purchase any remaining tickets on a first-come, first-served basis.
FIFA hasn’t said how many tickets will be released, but you can expect limited availability and quick sellouts.
To purchase tickets, you must visit the official FIFA ticketing portal and register for an account. You can then log in to your FIFA account and check out ticket availability.
Secondary Marketplaces
Nearer the time, and if tickets sell out (which they are likely to), fans can also take to the secondary marketplace on websites like StubHub, where fan-to-fan resale will be available with fluctuating prices.
Wha to expect from the World Cup semi-finals 2026?
The FIFA World Cup is returning to North America for the first time since USA '94. Despite soccer's relative lack of popularity in the host nation thirty years ago, it proved to be the most one of the most successful World Cups ever, breaking average match and overall attendance records.
We are now looking forward to another stellar soccer extravaganza in the Americas and with the tournament expanded to 48 teams for the first ever, it’s set to be bigger and better than ever.
Both FIFA World Cup 2022 semi-finals in Qatar were entertaining affairs, with several of the world’s elite talents rising to the occasion when it mattered most. Lionel Messi and Julian Alvarez (twice) netted for Argentina as La Albiceleste beat Croatia 3-0 in the opening semi, back in December 2022.
Twenty four hours later, France would follow Argentina’s example, standing tall against another one of the tournament surprise packages, when beating Morocco 2-0.
