Keen to join the Tartan Army in a North American takeover next summer, following Scotland’s stunning 4-2 takedown of Denmark on Tuesday night?
Here’s how to buy tickets to the FIFA World Cup 26, which will be held between 11 June and 19 July 2026.
How do I buy World Cup 2026 tickets?
There are a number of different sale draws and offers, all of which are available at FIFA.com/tickets.
Supporters with Visa debit or credit cards had the chance to enter into a draw to purchase tickets between 10 and 19 September 2025.
However, that draw is now closed, as the Early Ticket Draw which was held between 27 and 31 October.
Following the revelation of group-stage matches at the Kennedy Centre in Washington DC on 5 December 2025, a random selection ticket draw will take place.
According to FIFA’s website: “During this phase, fans will be able to submit applications for specific matches once the group-stage matchups have been revealed.
“Closer to the tournament, fans will be able to purchase any remaining inventory on a first come, first served basis.”
How much will World Cup 2026 tickets cost?
Prices are expected to start at $60 in the group stages, unless Scotland are facing one of the top nations.
However, tickets at the final at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey could reach as much as £4,500.
According to the BBC, general admission tickets have been split into four categories, with tickets to the first match in the United States costing between £417 and £1,662.
The cheapest ticket finals is priced at £1,510, while the most expensive is £4,462.
While some tickets for early-tournament matches are on offer for £44, these are are a tiny proportion of available seats.
It is understood that FIFA will hit buyers and sellers of resold tickets on its website with a 15% tarrif each.
Of course, this does not account for accommodation or flight costs, which can run into four figures.
Where will World Cup 2026 matches be played?
16 cities across three countries will host matches during the tournament, including Estadio Banorte in Mexico City, AT&T Stadium in Dallas, SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, and BC Place in Vancouver.
Customers are permitted to purchase a maximum of four tickets per household for each match, and no more than 40 tickets in total for the entire World Cup.
While tickets can be purchased via third party sites via the resale market, customers are urged to use caution as these may be fraudulent or invalid.
What teams have qualified for the World Cup 2026 so far?
