Final phase of 2026 World Cup ticket sales opens April 1

FIFA has announced that the final phase of ticket sales for the 2026 FIFA World Cup will begin on April 1, offering fans a last opportunity to secure seats for the tournament in the United States, Canada and Mexico.

The Last-Minute Sales Phase will open at 11:00 ET (15:00 GMT), and tickets will be available on a first-come, first-served basis through FIFA’s official ticketing platform. Fans will be able to view available matches, select seats and receive instant confirmation after purchase.

This phase follows strong global demand, with more than 500 million ticket requests recorded during the Random Selection Draw period and over one million tickets already sold.

FIFA has also confirmed that tickets will be released on a rolling basis, including occasional same-day availability for matches. Supporters are encouraged to check the platform regularly for updates.

In addition, the official resale marketplace will reopen on April 2, allowing fans who can no longer attend to resell their tickets securely through FIFA’s system.

With the tournament less than three months away, FIFA expects attendance figures to surpass previous records, underlining the growing global interest in the expanded 48-team competition.

Fans have also been advised to check visa and entry requirements early, as match tickets do not guarantee access into host countries.
