Registration for World Cup Tickets 2026

“Don't miss out on your opportunity to enter the Early Ticket Draw to purchase,” read a post on FIFA’s official account on X (formerly Twitter). “Registration for the Early Ticket Draw starts on October 27th”.

All 104 games at 16 locations are covered by the lottery. The governing body will choose candidates at random and provide them with a “dedicated time slot” to buy tickets, as per FOX. This lottery is FIFA's second ticket offering that allows for single-match purchases, and its third overall.

Premium tickets for the World Cup final at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, start at $6,730, while the cheapest ticket starts at $2,030. FIFA defended its pricing earlier this month, asserting that market demand determines ticket value and that dynamic pricing is customary practice.
