How to Buy World Cup 2026 Tickets: Official FIFA Guide

The only official place to buy FIFA World Cup 2026 tickets is FIFA.com/tickets. This guide explains how the process works, what phases are open, and how to avoid scams.

Step 1 — Create a FIFA ID

To apply for or buy tickets directly from FIFA you need a FIFA ID. Go to FIFA.com/tickets, click the person icon, choose Sign up, and create an account with your personal details. You will use this ID for every purchase and for the official resale platform.

Step 2 — Buy in the current sales phase

Official tickets have been on sale since September 2025. The final phase, the Last-Minute Sales Phase, is open now and runs through the end of the tournament. Unlike earlier rounds, this is not a lottery: tickets are sold on a strictly first-come, first-served basis with immediate confirmation.

Step 3 — Or use the official resale marketplace

If a match is sold out, the FIFA Official Resale / Exchange Marketplace (also at FIFA.com/tickets) lets fans buy and sell tickets that other supporters return. It stays open until one hour before each kick-off.

How much do tickets cost?

FIFA uses variable pricing: prices are set per match and per category before each phase opens, and dynamic pricing can move prices based on demand once a phase is live. Group-stage matches are the most affordable; knockout rounds and the final are the most expensive. Always confirm the live price on the official site before you commit.

Avoiding scams ⚠

Only buy from FIFA.com/tickets or the official resale marketplace. Tickets are digital and tied to your FIFA ID.
Be wary of social-media sellers, unofficial “guaranteed” tickets, or prices that seem too good to be true.
FIFA can cancel tickets bought through unauthorised channels, and you may be refused entry.

Once you have your tickets, plan around the match schedule and the host cities and stadiums.

Ticketing rules and phases are set by FIFA and can change. Always check FIFA.com/tickets for the latest official information.
