where to buy tickets for world cup 2026
The safest place to buy World Cup 2026 tickets is FIFA’s official ticketing site, with FIFA’s resale/exchange marketplace as the next option if standard tickets are gone.
Where to buy
- Official FIFA tickets: Go to FIFA’s ticket hub and sign in or create a FIFA ticketing account to browse available matches and buy directly.
- FIFA resale/exchange marketplace: Use this if you miss the initial sale; it is FIFA’s official fan-to-fan resale channel for eligible tickets.
- Third-party resale sites: Sites like StubHub, SeatGeek, Ticombo, and similar marketplaces may list tickets, but they are secondary markets, so prices and fees can be much higher.
What to watch for
- Tickets for the tournament are mobile-only , so expect delivery through FIFA’s mobile ticketing system rather than PDFs or screenshots.
- Avoid random social-media sellers and never rely on screenshots, because those are common scam risks.
- Check the exact match, city, venue, and round before paying, especially on resale platforms where pricing can vary a lot.
Best move
Start with FIFA’s ticket page, then check the official resale/exchange marketplace if you do not get seats in the main sale.
Live market note
As of late June 2026, secondary marketplaces are showing active listings for World Cup matches, but those are resale offers rather than the official primary channel.
