FIFA World Cup 2026 tickets will go on sale again this Wednesday. The new batch covers all 104 matches and comes just 50 days before the tournament begins. FIFA said fans can buy tickets on a first-come, first-served basis through its official ticketing platform.
Sales will open at 15:00 GMT on FIFA’s website. Tickets will be available for matches in the United States, Mexico, and Canada. FIFA also said it will continue releasing additional tickets to the public until the final on Sunday, July 19, subject to availability.
The latest release comes as demand for FIFA World Cup 2026 tickets continues to break records. FIFA previously said fans submitted five million ticket requests within 24 hours during one sales phase. That figure highlights the scale of global interest in the expanded 48-team tournament. FIFA has also said earlier sales phases had already sold nearly two million tickets before demand increased further.
The tournament will begin on June 11. It will be the first men’s World Cup to feature 48 teams and three host countries. FIFA has scheduled 104 matches for the 2026 edition. That will make it the biggest World Cup in the tournament’s history.
Ticket demand has remained high, but FIFA has also drawn criticism over pricing. The most expensive final tickets now exceed $10,000, excluding resale prices. FIFA’s dynamic pricing model for high-demand matches has pushed prices higher. I verified FIFA’s broader sales structure and its messaging around strong demand. However, I did not find an official FIFA page in this search set confirming that exact top-end final ticket price. For that reason, the figure should be treated as source-based unless further confirmation emerges.
FIFA has publicly defended its ticketing strategy and pointed to exceptional demand. President Gianni Infantino said interest in the 2026 tournament has been extraordinary. Fans from more than 200 countries are seeking access to matches across North America.
