2026 World Cup Ticket Sales Explained: Dates, Prices and How to Buy

The 2026 World Cup is drawing closer, bringing fans the opportunity to be a part of this once-in-a-lifetime event spanning three nations, 16 cities, and over 100 different matches with their own unique stakes. With the first phase of ticket sales now wrapped up, let's look at what we can expect moving forward and how you can acquire a place in the world's premier football tournament.

The initial ticket phase officially ended on September 19th. Being exclusive to Visa cardholders, members were able to register their interest in purchasing a ticket. This now puts them in a lottery-style draw, with the lucky ones who are selected being invited to purchase the first tickets. The window for this will take place up until October 21st. Whilst the deadline for applications for the first phase has closed, those who registered should keep an eye out for email confirmation. It's also important to note that those who applied aren’t guaranteed a ticket.

The second phase of ticket sales will be expected to take place in late October. Unlike phase one, anyone will be able to register their interest to purchase tickets regardless of their payment method. One final draw will be held following phase two, after which the remaining tickets will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis. 

One topic of controversy impacting the whole process is the introduction of a new dynamic pricing system, meaning ticket costs will fluctuate based on popularity and demand. Reports suggest that prices for these could start at $60. This won't be for long however as prices are rumoured to rise as high as $6730 for the biggest games such as the final.

Don't miss your chance to be a part of football history. Whether you're aiming for the group stage or the grand finale, skip the hassle of lottery draws and dynamic pricing when you trust FootballTicketStore as your partner for the 2026 World Cup.

Would recommend them.

Was a bit worried about tickets for the cup final, but it was an event I couldn’t miss.  The tickets were expensive enough, but it was expected. Everyone worked well. Would recommend them.

Good service overall
Good service overall. The ticket process was smooth, and I got to see my favorite team play (Manchester City). Just a small delay in receiving the e-tickets.
