FIFA has revealed that the final window during which the tickets for the coveted FIFA World Cup will be sold opens on 1st April.
With the demand for tickets showing unprecedented numbers, FIFA has made sure sales are made in phases over a period of time.
“Following on from the Random Selection Draw period, additional tickets for the FIFA World Cup 2026 will go on sale to the general public from 11:00ET/17:00CET on Wednesday, 1 April,” reads a statement from FIFA.
The upcoming sale phase will be the fourth and final, allowing the general public to purchase tickets via FIFA.com/tickets. This sales window will remain open until the end of the World Cup, offering fans a final pathway to be part of history.
During this final phase of the FIFA World Cup 2026 ticketing programme, tickets will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis, subject to availability. Fans will be able to immediately see the matches and categories for which tickets are available, select specific seats, proceed with the purchase and receive confirmation once payment is completed.
To select specific seats, fans can choose directly from the seat map option, or they can use the “Book the Best Seat” feature. Ticket holders who have bought tickets in previous phases will also be able to see the seats that have been allocated to them via their FIFA account from 1 April.
Fans are encouraged to check FIFA.com/tickets regularly, as tickets that are temporarily unavailable may become available again through the official platform. Tickets will continue to be released on a rolling basis, including same-day tickets for matches on occasion (subject to availability).
In addition, FIFA will reopen the official Resale/Exchange Marketplace for eligible ticket holders on Thursday, 2 April via FIFA.com/tickets. This platform enables fans who can no longer attend matches to sell their tickets to other fans in a secure and authorised environment, safeguarding against invalid or unauthorised resale. The service is available subject to federal and local regulations. FIFA reminds fans that FIFA.com/tickets is the official and preferred source for FIFA World Cup 2026 tickets.
Fans who would like to immediately ensure access to specific matches and are looking for a premium, elevated matchday experience can purchase hospitality packages, which include match tickets, at FIFA.com/hospitality through On Location, the Official Hospitality Provider of the FIFA World Cup 2026.
A historic number of fans from across the globe have already secured their spots at the biggest FIFA World Cup ever through the three ticketing phases completed so far. During the Random Selection Draw phase alone, more than 500 million ticket requests were submitted by members of the general public, resulting in over one million tickets being sold by the end of that sales period on 27 February.
With just 77 days to the World Cup in Canada, Mexico and the USA, the cumulative attendance record of 3.5 million set at the 1994 FIFA World Cup is on course to be surpassed during this year’s competition.
