 FIFA reports more than 1 million tickets sold for 2026 World Cup in North America 

More than 1 million tickets have already been sold for the 2026 World Cup, FIFA announced Thursday in its first update since official sales began earlier this month. The highest demand came from fans in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, the three host nations, though buyers from 212 countries and territories have purchased tickets despite only 28 of the 48 tournament spots being filled.

The next most active markets were England, Germany, Brazil, Spain, Colombia, Argentina, and France. The tournament is scheduled to run from June 11 to July 19, 2026. FIFA President Gianni Infantino said the strong early sales reflect the excitement surrounding “the biggest, most inclusive FIFA World Cup in history.” FIFA also opened its resale site Thursday, with World Cup final tickets in East Rutherford, New Jersey, listed from $9,538 to $57,500 per seat.

Tickets in this first round were allocated through a lottery from 4.5 million applicants. The next ticket draw opens Oct. 27, offering single-match, venue-specific, and team-specific tickets. The 2026 tournament will feature 104 matches across 16 North American venues, with roughly 7.1 million seats in total.

Ticket pricing varies widely: the lowest-cost tickets started at $60 for around 40 matches, while most matches had higher prices. The opening U.S. match in Inglewood, California, had initial prices ranging from $560 to $2,735, with resale listings reaching as high as $61,642. Fans can choose seats in one of four categories, with dynamic pricing in effect for the first time.

The second phase of the ticket draw will run from mid-November to early December, followed by a third phase after Dec. 5, once all World Cup teams are finalized. Additional tickets will also be sold closer to the tournament on a first-come, first-served basis.
