The FIFA World Cup 2026 ticketing programme is set to officially launch in September, FIFA has confirmed, marking a major step in preparations for the biggest edition of the tournament in history. The upcoming World Cup will be jointly hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico, and will feature an expanded format with 48 teams competing across multiple host cities.
FIFA said ticket sales will be conducted in multiple phases to ensure fair access for fans around the world. The process is expected to include application-based draws, first-come-first-served sales, and additional ticket releases closer to the tournament. Supporters will be required to create a FIFA ID in order to participate in the ticketing programme.
The governing body urged fans to purchase tickets only through official FIFA platforms, warning against unauthorized sellers and resale websites. Further details regarding ticket categories, pricing, match schedules, and host venues will be released gradually in the months leading up to the tournament.
World Cup 2026 is expected to draw record-breaking attendance, with millions of fans anticipated to travel across North America to witness the global football spectacle. The expanded format and tri-nation hosting model are set to deliver a unique fan experience while showcasing football’s growing reach worldwide.
The tournament is scheduled to kick off in June 2026, with anticipation continuing to build as FIFA rolls out operational details, stadium preparations, and fan engagement initiatives. With demand expected to be exceptionally high, football supporters are encouraged to register early and stay informed through official announcements.
ACT Global Media will continue to provide updates as more information becomes available.
