How to buy France 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 France in the World Cup 2026?
Paris Saint-Germain's sensational UEFA Champions League triumph last season further increased the focus on French football and their international players.
Those who ply their trade at PSG itself, such as Ousmane Dembele, Bradley Barcola, Lucas Hernandez and Desire Doue, as well as others who entertain the footballing masses in a multitude of top leagues: Kylian Mbappe (Real Madrid), Marcus Thuram (Inter Milan), Adrien Rabiot (AC Milan), Michael Olise (Bayern Munich), Rayan Cherki (Man City), William Saliba (Arsenal). All those dazzling stars will align, as they go in search of national glory at World Cup 2026 and you could be there to watch it all unfold.
France have been lucky enough to field a glittering array of talent throughout the years of course. During their two previous triumphant World Cup campaigns of 1998 and 2018, the likes of Zinedine Zidane, Didier Deschamps, Marcel Desailly, N'Golo Kante, Paul Pogba and Antoine Griezmann all helped pull the strings and guide them to success.
As well as capturing the main prize twice before, Les Bleus came within a whisker of further global glory in both 2006 and 2022, when they finished runners-up.
