Football fans have a final opportunity to secure their place at the 2026 World Cup. FIFA opened its last-minute sales phase on Wednesday morning. This offers a chance to purchase tickets for the 48-team tournament.
Unlike previous phases, tickets will not be offered via lottery. Instead, they are being sold on a first-come, first-served basis.
How to Secure Your World Cup Tickets
Any fan can log on and buy whatever tickets are left at below resale market price. Fans can select specific seats, or use the ‘book the best seat’ option.
Ticket holders who bought tickets in previous phases will also be able to see their allocated seats via their FIFA account from April 1. FIFA encourages fans to check FIFA.com/tickets regularly. Tickets that are temporarily unavailable may become available again through the official platform.
Rolling Ticket Releases and Resale Options
Tickets will continue to be released on a rolling basis. Same-day tickets for matches may be available on occasion, subject to availability.
The ‘last-minute sales phase’ will remain open through the end of the tournament. FIFA will also reopen its resale/exchange marketplace on Thursday. This is for eligible ticket holders who can’t attend the games anymore and wish to sell their tickets.
Key Dates and Matches
- The FIFA World Cup kicks off on June 11, with Mexico against South Africa.
