The world’s biggest football tournament, the World Cup, is rapidly approaching, with the first tickets about to be released. The first official phase of ticket sales for the 2026 World Cup will commence on Wednesday, September 10th 2025, with fans from all across the world eager for the chance to attend this historic event.

The initial ticket registration runs from September 10th-19th and will be exclusive to Visa cardholders. Those who select a purchase will be assigned a date and time between early October and the 21st. It's important to remember however that this doesn't guarantee the purchase of seats, simply putting you in a lottery for the opportunity to attempt to do so. 

Once the presale phase has concluded, phase 2 will begin. Similar to the presale phase but without the Visa requirement, those who register interest will be put into a lottery draw from late October until December 5th.

Following this, there will be one final lottery draw before the remaining tickets are put on sale on a first come, first served basis. This is the typical system familiar to fans and will heavily depend on ticket availability.

One major change for this World Cup from previous renditions is the adoption of dynamic price modelling, where ticket prices will be adjusted based on real-time demand. While the first prices are supposedly starting at $60, this is set to increase with tickets for the final rumoured to reach up to $6730.

With the 2026 World Cup set to be the biggest in football history and an expected 6.5 million fans predicted to attend, demand is sure to soar. Don't miss out on the opportunity to witness football’s best battle it out for the chance to be crowned champions of the world.
