With 48 teams competing across the United States, Canada, and Mexico from June 11 to July 19, next year’s tournament promises to be the largest and most anticipated World Cup ever staged.
Prices for single tickets start as low as $60 for group-stage matches, climbing to as high as \$6,710 for the final.
FIFA confirmed that pricing will fluctuate based on demand, and fans will have multiple options, including single-game tickets, venue-specific passes, and team-based packages.
The first presale draw, open only to Visa card holders with a FIFA ID, runs from September 10 to 19. Lucky entrants selected in this randomized draw will be able to apply for tickets beginning October 1.
Each fan can purchase up to four tickets per match, with a maximum of 40 for the entire tournament.
Phase two of ticket sales is scheduled for late October, with purchases opening in mid-November.
Phase three will follow after the official tournament draw on December 5 in Washington, giving fans the chance to apply for specific matches. Closer to kickoff, a first-come, first-served sale will release remaining inventory.
To enhance the fan experience, FIFA also plans to roll out special supporter sections, conditional knockout tickets, and an official resale platform for verified exchanges.
