FIFA has confirmed that a new batch of tickets for all 104 matches of the 2026 FIFA World Cup will go on sale tomorrow, Wednesday, April 22, as the countdown reaches 50 days before the tournament begins.
The latest sales phase opens at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time (ET), which corresponds to 5:00 p.m. Morocco time, and will be handled exclusively through FIFA’s official ticketing platform on FIFA.com/tickets.
According to FIFA, fans will have access to tickets for a variety of matches across several pricing levels, including:
- Category 1
- Category 2
- Category 3
- Newly introduced Front-Row premium seating
Sales will operate on a first-come, first-served basis, with transactions processed live depending on availability.
Massive demand continues
The 2026 World Cup is already seeing unprecedented demand. Reports indicate that more than 5 million tickets have already been sold from an estimated total inventory of around 7 million seats for the tournament.
Prices continue to vary under FIFA’s dynamic pricing model, meaning ticket costs rise or fall depending on match demand.
Examples from earlier phases include:
- Tickets for Canada’s opening match in Toronto listed above $3,125
- Premium final tickets reportedly reaching $10,990
Fans trying to buy tomorrow are being advised to log in early, as digital waiting rooms could exceed 90 minutes due to heavy traffic.
All tickets for the tournament will be mobile-only, with delivery through FIFA’s official app beginning in May 2026
Fans who can no longer attend matches can use FIFA’s official resale platform, while premium hospitality packages remain available separately through FIFA.com/hospitality.
There is limited inventory remaining and worldwide demand soaring, so tomorrow’s release may be one of the final opportunities for supporters to secure seats.
