The first phase of ticket sales for the 2026 FIFA World Cup will commence on September 10, 2025, at 11:00 ET (17:00 CET) with a Visa pre-sale. The multi-phase process, designed to manage high demand and ensure a fair distribution of tickets, includes several key steps.Ticketing Process Overview
The ticketing process for the 2026 World Cup will unfold over multiple phases, beginning with a Visa pre-sale on September 10, 2025. This phase will allow fans with Visa credit, debit, or prepaid cards to enter a lottery for a chance to purchase tickets [1].
Following the Visa pre-sale, a similar lottery phase will be available to non-Visa cardholders, starting on or around October 27. After the World Cup draw on December 5, another lottery phase will open, allowing fans to secure tickets for specific matchups. The final phase, scheduled for the spring, will be a "first-come-first-served" sale to the general public.
Ticket Prices and Categories
Ticket prices for the 2026 World Cup will start at $60 for group stage matches, with the highest price for the final set at $6,730. FIFA will employ dynamic pricing, adjusting ticket prices based on demand and remaining inventory [1].
Tickets will be categorized into lower level (Category 1), second deck (Category 2), and upper deck (Category 3 and 4). Unlike U.S. sports tickets, fans will not know the exact location of their seats until closer to game day [1].

Fans interested in purchasing World Cup tickets are encouraged to register their interest on FIFA.com/tickets to receive updates and create a FIFA ID. This account will be necessary for buying tickets on the official platform. Additionally, fans can buy a Visa prepaid card to enter the first lottery phase [1].
