The road to the FIFA World Cup 2026 officially begins this month. The first phase of ticket sales opens Sept. 10 with the Visa Presale Draw, giving select fans early access to the biggest sporting event in the world.
Atlanta is among the 11 host cities across North America, with the tournament set to begin in June 2026. Fans hoping to secure seats should register for a FIFA ID at FIFA.com/tickets, where they’ll receive updates on ticket timelines and processes.
The presale entry period runs from Sept. 10 at 11 a.m. through Sept. 19. Successful applicants will be notified starting Sept. 29 and assigned a purchase window beginning Oct. 1.
Ticket prices range from $60 for group-stage matches to nearly $7,000 for premium seats at the final. Additional sales phases—including the Early Ticket Draw and Random Selection Draw—will roll out through July 2026. A resale platform will also launch to protect fans from scams.
For those looking for the VIP experience, hospitality packages are already available.
“The countdown to FIFA World Cup 26 starts now, and lucky Visa cardholders get the first shot,” said Visa CMO Frank Cooper III.
