LOS ANGELES — FIFA opened a last-minute ticket sales phase in late April for the 2026 World Cup, making seats available for all 104 matches on a first-come, first-served basis through its official website. Tickets for the United States' opener against Paraguay on June 12 in Los Angeles are priced from $1,120 to $4,105, with many around $2,000.

The United States vs Paraguay match is the most expensive group-stage game on offer. Seats in the hospitality package groupings for that opener go as high as $6,050 per seat. The tournament begins June 11 with the opener between Mexico and South Africa in Mexico City, a match that is sold out.

According to FIFA's website, 17 group-stage games are sold out in total. Seven of those are staged in Mexico. Other sold-out fixtures include the United States vs South Korea in Guadalajara, the United States vs Czech Republic in Mexico City, Turkey vs USA in Los Angeles, Brazil vs Morocco in New York/New Jersey, and Scotland vs Brazil in Miami.

Tickets for Lionel Messi's Argentina games range from $2,475 to $2,925, while Brazil games range from $2,280 to $2,310. Other group-stage matches on sale include Argentina vs Austria at $2,925, Ecuador vs Germany at $2,550, Uruguay vs Spain at $2,520, and England vs Croatia at $2,505.

Seven group-stage games still have general sale tickets available at $380: Austria vs Jordan, New Zealand vs Egypt, Jordan vs Algeria, Cape Verde vs Saudi Arabia, Algeria vs Austria, Congo DR vs Uzbekistan, and Curacao vs Ivory Coast in Philadelphia. Tickets for most other group games also remain on general sale with just over a month to go until the tournament kicks off.

Prices vary depending on ticket category, with Front Category 1 the most expensive and Category 4 the cheapest. FIFA adopted dynamic pricing for the first time at the World Cup, making ticket prices subject to change. The most expensive ticket for the final costs nearly $11,000, and four seats for the final were listed at just under $2.3 million each on FIFA's official resale site. No tickets for the final are on general sale. A Front Category 1 ticket for the Atlanta semifinal is listed at $9,660, and the equivalent for the Dallas semifinal at $11,130.

FIFA President Gianni Infantino said in January that demand for tickets for this year's tournament in the United States, Canada and Mexico would be the equivalent of "1,000 years of World Cups at once." The U.S. will cohost the World Cup for the second time.
