Most soccer fans knew ticket prices for the FIFA 2026 World Cup would rise after the matchups were announced on December 5. But few anticipated just how high prices would rise, with group stage tickets averaging around $445 to $620 and tickets to finals reaching an astronomical $8,680 per seat. Prices rose so much that major fan organizations like the Football Supporters Europe (FSE) and Football Supporters’ Association (FSA) publicly demanded that FIFA stop ticket sales until it reevaluated prices.

How to Get $60 Tickets to the 2026 FIFA World Cup (Even the Finals)
Fortunately for fans, it seems FIFA listened. On December 16, 2025, it announced a new fixed-price ticket category for the 2026 FIFA World Cup: a $60 “Supporter Entry Tier” intended specifically for fans of the 48 qualifying teams. The announcement didn’t say it was a specific response to the negative publicity around ticket prices, but rather, “designed to further support travelling fans following their national teams across the tournament.” $60 tickets will be available for all 104 matches, including the final, but inventory will be limited — and routed through national supporters groups, not sold broadly to the general public.

Tickets will be sold via official “Participating Member Associations,” or PMAs — the national soccer associations for each team. Under the plan, 10 percent of the tickets allocated to each PMA are available at the $60 rate. Anther 40 percent of PMA tickets will be available at nondisclosed “Supporter Value Tier,” designed to be more affordable, but likely more than $60.
For every match, each PMA gets eight percent of the available inventory for that stadium. Only 10 percent are earmarked for the “Supporter Entry Tier,” or about 0.8 percent of the stadium’s capacity. In 2026, BMO Field in Toronto, Canada, is the smallest venue at 45,000 seats, meaning only 3,600 tickets are reserved for the PMAs, and 360 tickets reserved at the $60 price point. The largest stadium, AT&T Stadium in Dallas, Texas, will have approximately 752 $60 tickets available.
These tickets are given directly to supporters organizations, and FIFA doesn’t control their distribution. However, it did note that the PMAs “are requested to ensure that these tickets are specifically allocated to loyal fans who are closely connected to their national teams.” It also shared that it received more than 20 million ticket requests since December 11, 2025.

Because the $60 tickets are tied to the PMAs, these national groups are effectively gatekeepers for the tickets. Most PMAs, such as US Soccer in the USA or Argentinian Football Association in Argentina, prioritize tickets for members of official supporter programs, also called fan clubs. However, the process of allocating those tickets can look very different, depending on the country. For example, US Soccer says it will distribute tickets via a weighted random draw, prioritizing higher-tier members. Across the pond, England Football said members will be emailed access codes to apply for tickets. Either way, all requests across all teams must be made by January 13, 2026.
For now, the best way to stay apprised of opportunities is to follow (or better yet, join) your team’s official PMA. The links for each qualifying team’s Participating Member Association are below. Each club will decide how to grant access to tickets, though they’ll all eventually route the purchases through FIFA’s official World Cup Supporters Ticket Sales website.
