What is the Price of FIFA World Cup Tickets?

The FIFA World Cup 2026 ticket price ranges will depend on match stage, venue, and demand; tickets for early group stage matches will start at $60 and could go up into thousands of dollars for marquee matches.

Knockout Round tickets will likely range from a few hundred to over $3,000, and Final match tickets could range from $2,000 through $6,000.

As FIFA has implemented its Dynamic Pricing model, the prices of tickets will fluctuate based on prevailing demand, making it difficult for fans to predict what they will pay for tickets and creating concerns about affordability.
