Frequently Asked Questions

How do I buy 2026 World Cup tickets?

All official tickets are sold through FIFA.com/tickets. There have been multiple sales phases including lotteries and random selection. The final phase (Phase 4) is first-come, first-served and opens in April 2026. You can also try your chances on third-party marketplaces like LiveFootballTickets or StubHub.

When do World Cup 2026 tickets go on sale?

Phases 1 through 3 (lottery and random selection) have been completed. Phase 4, the first-come, first-served phase, is expected to open in April 2026. All sales take place at FIFA.com/tickets. You need a FIFA ID (free account) to purchase.

Can I buy World Cup tickets from resale sites?

FIFA operates its own resale marketplace where ticket holders can list tickets at any price (except in Mexico, where resale must be at face value). FIFA takes a 15% fee from both buyer and seller. Third-party sites like LiveFootballTickets also offer World Cup tickets with buyer protection guarantees, though this technically violates FIFA’s terms of use.

What are the 2026 World Cup host cities?

The 2026 FIFA World Cup is hosted across 16 cities in three countries: 11 in the United States (Atlanta, Boston, Dallas, Houston, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Miami, New York/New Jersey, Philadelphia, San Francisco Bay Area, Seattle), 3 in Mexico (Guadalajara, Mexico City, Monterrey), and 2 in Canada (Toronto, Vancouver).

Where should I stay for the 2026 World Cup?

We recommend booking hotels ASAP in your host city for the best matchday experience. Hotels fill up fast during major tournaments, so book early. Use the host city links above to browse live hotel availability and pricing near each World Cup venue.

How much do 2026 World Cup tickets cost?

For the first time, FIFA is using dynamic (variable) pricing for 2026. Group stage tickets started around $60 USD for the cheapest category, while the Final’s top category started at $6,730 USD. Prices change based on demand and remaining inventory. Hospitality packages start at $1,350 USD per match.

When should I book hotels for World Cup 2026?

Book now. Hotels near World Cup venues in popular cities like New York, Los Angeles, Miami, and Dallas are already filling up for match dates. Prices rise sharply as tournament dates approach. If you have tickets or are planning to attend, secure accommodation immediately — you can cancel most flexible bookings later if plans change.

Do I need a visa to attend the 2026 World Cup?

It depends on your nationality and which host country you’re visiting. US, Canada, and Mexico have separate entry requirements. Citizens of many countries can enter the US and Canada visa-free for tourism stays under 90 days. Mexico also waives visas for many nationalities. Check the official government websites for your specific passport and destination country well in advance.

How do I travel between World Cup host cities?

The US host cities are spread across the country, so flying is the most practical option for most multi-city trips. Domestic flights between major US cities are frequent and relatively affordable when booked early. For Canada (Toronto, Vancouver) and Mexico (Guadalajara, Mexico City, Monterrey), flights are the standard option. Some fans attending group stage matches across a region may find trains useful for closer cities.

Do I need travel insurance for the World Cup?

Strongly recommended. A World Cup trip involves significant upfront costs — flights, hotels, and tickets that may be non-refundable. Travel insurance covers trip cancellations, medical emergencies abroad, lost baggage, and missed connections. Given how much a World Cup trip costs, the insurance premium is a small price for peace of mind.
