Following the conclusion of the UEFA play-offs in late March, Jesse Marsch’s men now know their opening Group B opponents: Bosnia-Herzegovina. The Dragons secured their spot in the group after a hard-fought play-off path that initially included Italy, Northern Ireland, and Wales.

Both of Canada’s final two group games against Qatar (June 18) and Switzerland (June 24) take place at BC Place in Vancouver.

Despite appearances at Mexico '86 and Qatar '22, the Canucks are still searching for their first-ever World Cup tournament win (or draw). It will be a momentous occasion for Canadian fans to say that they were present when their team recorded that momentous first success, and it's another reason why tickets have been flying off the shelf.

When to buy Canada 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.
