FIFA Sets Final World Cup 2026 Ticket Sale for April 1, Resale to Reopen April 2

Record demand alongside an EU pricing complaint keeps pressure on purchasing through official channels.

Overview

  • FIFA’s Last‑Minute Sales Phase, which opens Wednesday, April 1 at 11 a.m. ET, is the fourth and final chance for the public to buy World Cup 2026 tickets on a first‑come, first‑served basis.
  • Fans will see live availability, choose seats from a map or use the “Book the best seat” feature, and get confirmation once payment is processed.
  • FIFA’s official Resale/Exchange Marketplace returns Thursday, April 2 for eligible ticket holders to resell or exchange in a secure, authorized system subject to local rules.
  • Officials direct buyers to FIFA.com/tickets as more seats will appear on a rolling basis through the tournament, sometimes even on match day, and they caution that tickets do not grant entry to the U.S., Canada, or Mexico without meeting each country’s visa rules.
  • Demand remains extraordinary with more than 500 million requests and over one million tickets sold so far, while European consumer groups have filed a pricing complaint with the European Commission.
