Ticket prices for the 2026 World Cup will initially range from $60 for group-stage matches to $6,730 for the final, with prices subject to change under FIFA’s new dynamic pricing system. The tournament, running from June 11 to July 19 across the U.S., Mexico, and Canada, expands to 48 teams and 104 matches.

Tickets will first be available via a Visa card-holder draw until Sept. 19, with purchase notifications starting Sept. 29. Sales are limited to four tickets per match per person, with a maximum of 40 tickets for the tournament. Additional phases include an early ticket draw in late October and a random selection draw after the final team schedule is released on Dec. 5. FIFA will also offer an official resale platform.

Hospitality packages at MetLife Stadium, including the final, range from $3,500 to $73,200 per person. Fans can buy tickets for specific teams or venues. Thirteen teams have already qualified, including host nations U.S., Canada, and Mexico, while defending champion Argentina and Brazil have secured spots. All three hosts will play their group-stage matches at home venues. - Agency
