How to buy 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.

Can I buy World Cup 2026 resale tickets?
Yes. The FIFA Resale Marketplace is the official channel for secure exchanges and reopened on April 2.
It is accessible via the ticket portal on the FIFA website for international, American, and Canadian residents.
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.
Secondary marketplaces like StubHub remain a popular and viable option for fans looking for specific seating blocks or entry to the most red-hot fixtures of the tournament.
Make sure to check the T&Cs of the website you're buying from.

Prices are likely to fluctuate throughout the various ticket release/sales phases.

What is the FIFA variable pricing?
FIFA’s ticketing approach aligns with trends across various sports and entertainment sectors, where prices fluctuate to optimize sales and attendance.
FIFA applies variable pricing (along with dynamic pricing) for the World Cup 2026 ticket process, which means prices can fluctuate throughout the various sales phases based on a review of demand and availability for each match.
Ticket prices are subject to change at any moment, which offers more flexibility in navigating potential unforeseen developments.
With FIFA’s World Cup 2026 variable pricing, prices are set flexibly before tickets are offered at each sales phase. However, dynamic pricing will take effect once a sales phase is opened.
