How to get World Cup 2026 resale tickets?
Supporters have been able to purchase official World Cup 2026 match tickets via the FIFA site, since September 2025. The last official phase of World Cup ticket sales, the Last-Minute Sales Phase, began on April 1 and runs right through until the end of the tournament.
Didn't get a ticket in the first phases? Here are all the resale options below:
FIFA Resale/Exchange Marketplace
The official channel is the FIFA Resale/Exchange Marketplace, which can be accessed via FIFA.com/tickets, is the official channel for booking resale tickets.
The platform, which originally launched in October 2025, reopened on April 2 and will remain open until one hour prior to each respective match's kick-off.
The FIFA Resale Marketplace is available to Canadian, American, and international residents.
Secondary Marketplaces
Third-party sellers, such as StubHub, will also have World Cup 2026 ticket availability.
While secondary markets exist, it’s always worth being cautious when purchasing tickets via this route and prices can be heavily inflated.
It’s also important that you ensure that any third-party seller uses the official FIFA Ticket Transfer feature when moving the ticket directly into your FIFA account.
One key point for resale buyers: availability can be very limited, and tickets may appear sporadically. Fans hoping to secure resale tickets should check the platform frequently, act quickly when tickets appear, and have payment details ready in advance.
Mercado de Intercambio de la FIFA
The Mercado de Intercambio de la FIFA (FIFA Exchange Marketplace) is the official platform for residents of Mexico to securely resell, purchase, or exchange World Cup 2026 tickets.
Mexico has specific legal protections for resale, resulting in a slightly different system.
Unlike the main FIFA Resale Marketplace, tickets in the Mexico marketplace are strictly face-value only, so sellers cannot list them for profit.
