Millions of Fans Compete for World Cup 2026 Tickets, Numbering Over 4.5 Million

Excitement Builds for Record-Breaking 2026 FIFA World Cup Ticket Sales

The upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup in North America is shaping up to be a mega-event, with an unprecedented demand for tickpicks. Over 4.5 million applications for tickpicks have been received from 216 countries, suggesting that this tournament could be the most attended in history.

To cater to this immense demand, the registration phase for the early ticketmaster draw starts on October 27. Visa, an official FIFA sponsor, will be the company offering the chance to participate in the FIFA World Cup 2026 ticketmaster lottery. From September 10 to 19, 2025, Visa credit card holders can register via FIFA.com/tickets. Successful applicants will be notified from September 29, 2025, and given a time window in October to purchase tickpicks.

Sales for the world news tickets will run from mid-November to early December. However, it's important to note that a successful draw for world news tickets does not guarantee tickpick acquisition, as availability depends on the specific offer.

The host countries – the USA, Canada, and Mexico – have shown the most interest, with most applications coming from these regions. Tickpicks for matches in these countries are expected to become increasingly sought after.

More opportunities for world market ticket applications will be available as further sales phases are scheduled to begin. As the tournament approaches, the anticipation for the coveted world market tickets continues to grow, with millions of fans eagerly awaiting their chance to secure a spot at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The third phase for the 2026 FIFA World Cup ticketmaster sales will start after the group draw on December 5 in Washington. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting event!
