FIFA opens phase two of 2026 tickets with US-Canada-Mexico priority

FIFA opened the second phase of ticket sales for the 2026 World Cup on Oct. 27, offering one million tickets through an Early Ticket Draw that runs until Oct. 31 at 11 a.m. Eastern. The entry period is open to all fans at FIFA.com/tickets and includes a domestic exclusivity time slot giving residents of the United States, Canada and Mexico priority access to a large share of tickets for matches in their home countries.

Fans must enter the draw with an existing FIFA ID or create one on FIFA.com/tickets to be eligible, even if they participated in the earlier Visa Presale Draw. FIFA said the timing of an entry during the window will not affect chances of selection. After entries close, a random selection process will determine which fans receive a domestic priority time slot beginning Nov. 12, with a 72 hour period to purchase single match tickets for games in their country of residence. FIFA said successful entrants will receive confirmation at least 48 hours before their allocated buying window. Seventy five percent of the single match tickets in this phase will be made available during the domestic exclusivity time slot. Cross‑nation tickets will not be sold during that period.
