2026 FIFA World Cup Ticket Sales Top 1 Million

With 28 teams having already secured a spot at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the soccer federation has announced that more than 1 million fans from 212 countries and territories have already purchased tickets following the closure of the Visa Presale Draw sales phase, which launched in mid-September.

Residents of the three host countries – the United States, Canada and Mexico, in that order – have bought the most. Fans from England, Germany, Brazil, Spain, Colombia, Argentina and France – in order of demand – round out the top ten countries in terms of ticket sales.

“What an exciting step on our journey toward 2026,” said FIFA President Gianni Infantino. “As national teams across the globe compete for a place at the historic FIFA World Cup 26, I am thrilled so many football-loving fans also want to be part of this watershed event in North America.

Fans, including those who were unsuccessful in the presale phase, will have another sales window starting October 27, when the entry period will open for the Early Ticket Draw. In that draw, single-match tickets to all 104 games wil be released, along with venue- and team-specific tickets.

In addition, an official resale platform for eligible ticket holders is already available at FIFA.com/tickets.

And fans can already purchase single- and multi-match hospitality packages, which include match tickets, at FIFA.com/hospitality.
