Switzerland had a 2025 to remember. As well as finishing on top of their World Cup qualifying group, they remained unbeaten throughout the year.
The Swiss know that matches with Qatar and co-hosts Canada await, but they won’t know their third group rivals until the UEFA play-offs have been completed. Murat Yakin’s men won’t be overly concerned, though, as they’ve progressed to the knockouts at each of the past three World Cups.

How to buy Switzerland 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 Switzerland at the World Cup
Switzerland didn’t fly out of the blocks at the World Cup in Qatar four years ago. They limped over the line with a 1-0 victory against Cameroon in their opener and then lost by a similar scoreline to Brazil. However, a battling 3-2 victory in a feisty clash with Serbia, where 11 yellow cards were shown, saw the Swiss through to the knockouts once again.
The Red Crosses kick off their 2026 campaign against Qatar at the Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara. The Maroons made their World Cup debut when hosting the tournament four years ago, but they failed to pick up a single point and scored just one goal.
The Swiss remain in California for their second group encounter, although they switch to SoFi Stadium in Inglewood. The venue may be known, but the opponents aren’t confirmed. They will face either Wales, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Italy or Northern Ireland, depending on the outcome of the UEFA play-off.
Switzerland will be hoping they’ve got enough points in the bag before their final group encounter against Canada. Although the Canucks head into the Finals having lost all their previous World Cup matches, they are likely to be boosted with the backing of a fervent home support.
