LOS ANGELES — FIFA will open the final official ticket sales phase for the 2026 World Cup on April 1, 2026, at 11 a.m. ET. The tournament will kick off on June 11 in the United States, Mexico and Canada.

FIFA began selling 2026 World Cup tickets in multiple phases starting in September. The organization received 500 million ticket requests in the latest sales phase, according to FIFA. Around 6 million tickets are available for the entire tournament, with ticket allocation determined by a random draw among requesters, according to FIFA.

In September, FIFA announced ticket prices would range from $60 for group stage matches to $6,730 for the final, according to FIFA. World Cup tickets are divided into four categories, with Category 1 being the highest-priced seats and Category 4 the most affordable.

The December ticket release did not include any $60 tickets and had higher-than-expected prices, according to FIFA. FIFA reduced ticket prices for teams' most loyal supporters, allowing national federations to distribute $60 tickets to some fans, according to FIFA.

The face value of the cheapest equivalent ticket for the U.S. men's national team in 2026 was $700. Tickets for the U.S. men's national team's second group stage match cost $265 through the draw. Los Angeles will host at least two U.S. men's national team group stage matches during the tournament.

The last men's World Cup held in the United States before 2026 took place in 1994. At the 1994 World Cup, Category 1 group stage tickets for the U.S. men's national team could be purchased for $50, equivalent to $112 in today's dollars.

Costs for sporting events nationwide have increased by 164% since January 2000, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Inflation, as measured by the consumer price index, has increased by 95% since January 2000, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Hotel prices in 2026 World Cup host cities increased by over 300% after the December 2025 draw. Official FIFA parking passes for the 2026 World Cup opening match at SoFi Stadium cost $300.
