How to buy United States 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.
- 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 United States in the World Cup 2026?
The United States itself progressed from its 1994 group before bowing out bravely in the Round of 16 to eventual World Cup winners Brazil. Bebeto’s second-half strike was all that separated the sides.
The Stars and Stripes have come on leaps and bounds since then, qualifying for every World Cup bar the 2018 one. They reached the Round of 16 stage on three further occasions (2010, 2014 & 2022) and surprised many by getting to the quarter-finals in 2002.
The United States will be hoping for further improvement under the guidance of Mauricio Pochettino. They made a huge statement of intent when appointing the former Tottenham Hotspur, Paris Saint-Germain, and Chelsea boss in September 2024.
Despite a sluggish period in the early part of 2025, where they lost four games in a row, the Stars and Stripes have picked up impressively of late, losing just two of their last twelve starts, recording wins against the likes of Japan, Australia, Paraguay, and Uruguay during that run.
Who is in the United States World Cup Squad? Final 26-Man Lineup
Under the guidance of manager Mauricio Pochettino, the United States Men’s National Team (USMNT) has officially locked in its final 26-man roster. Playing as proud co-hosts on home soil, the Stars and Stripes anchor a fiercely competitive Group D alongside Australia, Paraguay, and Türkiye.
The squad features an elite, creative balance blending seasoned European veterans with explosive domestic talent. The roster is headlined by AC Milan’s attacking superstar Christian Pulisic and Juventus midfield engine Weston McKennie, bolstered by a rigid defensive line featuring Crystal Palace’s Chris Richards and veteran captain Tim Ream.
Whether you are plotting out their path to the knockout phases or tracking ticket availability for the massive Group D fixtures at the Los Angeles Stadium (SoFi Stadium) and Seattle Stadium (Lumen Field), here is the official 26-player roster representing the United States:
