The entry period for the next phase of ticket sales for the FIFA World Cup 2026™ – the Random Selection Draw – is now open through Tuesday, 13 January at 11:00 ET (17:00 CET) for fans to enter at FIFA.com/tickets. This marks the third phase of ticket sales for the game-changing 48-team tournament, as nearly two million tickets have been made available and purchased thus far across the Visa Presale Draw and the Early Ticket Draw, which closed last month.
Timing of a fan’s entry into the Random Selection Draw during the entry period will not impact the chances of success. Ticket prices will remain the same throughout this sales phase. Fans with an existing FIFA ID, should login using those credentials and then enter the Random Selection Draw, even if they have previously entered prior ticket draws. For those without an existing FIFA ID, an account must be created on FIFA.com/tickets, the official and preferred source of tickets for the FIFA World Cup 2026™, to get started.
Fans will be able to select which match(es), respective ticket category(ies), and number of tickets per match they’d like to purchase, subject to household restrictions. All successful and partially successful ticket applicants will receive communications via email and subsequently will be automatically charged for their tickets in February. A partially successful application indicates that a fan will receive the number of tickets requested to a match, but not all matches requested.
With the reveal of the final match schedule last Saturday, 6 December, the Random Selection Draw marks the first phase when fans will be able to apply for single-match tickets based on who is playing whom, where, and when for group stage matches.
