Can the Netherlands deliver the goods during their World Cup group encounters in North America? You could be there to cheer them on and witness it all unfold.
Let GOAL take you through all the latest World Cup 2026 ticket information, including how you can secure seats and how much they cost.

What is Netherlands' World Cup 2026 group schedule?
Having been absent from the 2018 World Cup, the Netherlands were determined to make a positive start to the group phase at Qatar ’22.
Although they were slow out of the blocks in their opener against Senegal in Doha, the Dutch would finish with a flourish, scoring twice late on to seal the win. A 1-1 draw with Ecuador and a 2-0 victory over the hosts, Qatar, saw them progress to the knockouts as group winners.
The Netherlands will be aiming to go unbeaten through the group phase once again. They get underway in Dallas against Japan, who have been ever-present at the World Cup Finals since their debut appearance back in 1998. The Japanese shocked the world in 2022 when they topped their group, one that contained both Spain and Germany.
The second group opponents for the Netherlands will be fellow Europeans, but their exact identity won't be known until the end of March, with Ukraine, Sweden, Poland, and Albania vying for the spot in the UEFA Playoffs. The Dutch, of course, met Poland during the opening qualifying phase, drawing with them 1-1, home and away.
Ronald Koeman’s crew completes the group phase against Tunisia in Kansas City. The North African nation has failed to reach the World Cup knockout stages in any of their six previous campaigns, winning just 3 of their 18 games at the Finals.
| Date | Fixture (K.O time local) | Venue | Tickets |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sunday, June 14 | Netherlands v Japan (3pm) | AT&T Stadium (Dallas) | Tickets |
| Saturday, June 20 | Netherlands vs UEFA Path B winner (12pm) | NRG Stadium (Houston) | Tickets |
| Thursday, June 25 | Netherlands vs Tunisia (6pm) | Arrowhead Stadium (Kansas City) | Tickets |
What to expect from the Netherlands in the World Cup 2026?
Despite never lifting the World Cup trophy aloft, the Netherlands have had many magical moments and near misses at the biggest sporting event on the planet. They finished runners-up at the 1974, 1978 and 2010 World Cups and were knocked out in the semis in at both the 1998 and 2014 tournaments.
Like a conveyor belt, the Dutch have continued to churn out talented stars who have starred on the world stage. The likes of Johan Cruyff, Dennis Bergkamp, Arjen Robben and Robin van Persie weaved their magic in the past and now present-day stars, such as Cody Gakpo, Tijjani Reijnders and Memphis Depay, are aiming to replicate past heroics.
The Netherlands arrive in North America on the back of a very impressive qualifying campaign, which saw them go unbeaten, winning six, drawing two and scoring 27 goals along the way. Depay, who now plies his trade in Brazil with Corinthians, top-scored for Ronald Koeman's Oranje, netting eight during the qualifiers. The Dutch have in fact lost only once since the summer of 2024 and that was a slim 1-0 Nations League defeat to Germany in Munich (October 2024).
When to buy Netherlands World Cup 2026 tickets
Supporters have several opportunities to purchase tickets for matches involving Netherlands, via the FIFA website, between now and the big kick-off in June.
While various sales phases have already taken place, such as the ‘Visa Presale Draw’ (September) and the ‘Early Ticket Draw’ (October), there are a couple more to come, as shown below:
Random Selection Draw
With the FIFA World Cup 2026 draw completed and the group matches now known, the next phase of ticket sales is due to get underway from December 11 and run through until January 13.
During this phase, fans will be able to submit applications for specific matches. Tickets are sold at a fixed price and successful applicants will be notified if they’ve have won tickets in February.
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 or for which games, 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.
Where to buy Netherlands World Cup 2026 tickets
The primary and most reliable place to secure seats for Netherlands matches is the official FIFA ticketing portal, where all World Cup tickets are first released.
Fans must register for a FIFA ID to participate in the various sales phases, which include early presales, random-selection draws, and later first-come, first-served releases.
Beyond initial releases, FIFA also operates its own official Resale and Exchange Marketplace. This is the only FIFA-approved platform for fans looking to resell or purchase already sold-out tickets.
Availability on the resale platform is often limited and sporadic, especially as matches approach, but it remains the safest option for purchasing tickets outside the primary sales phases. For fans in Mexico, a dedicated Exchange Marketplace (Mercado de Intercambio) handles local resale transactions under the same official safeguards.
For those who miss out on FIFA’s official windows or need tickets for specific dates or cities, secondary ticketing websites like StubHub or Ticombo will also list World Cup tickets. These platforms offer more flexibility, but generally at significantly higher prices due to demand-driven resale markets.
Fans considering third-party marketplaces should proceed cautiously, as unofficial resellers carry risks related to authenticity, transfer validity, and inflated pricing. It’s important to rely only on reputable platforms with strong buyer guarantees and clear refund policies.
