2026 World Cup Ticket Sales Top One Million, FIFA Announces
FIFA announced that more than one million tickets have already been sold for the 2026 World Cup, marking the first update since official sales began earlier this month.
Unsurprisingly, the highest demand has come from fans in the host nations — the United States, Canada, and Mexico. FIFA revealed that supporters from 212 countries and territories have already purchased tickets, even though only 28 of the 48 participating teams have been confirmed.
According to FIFA, the rest of the top 10 countries by ticket purchases include England, Germany, Brazil, Spain, Colombia, Argentina, and France — in that order. The expanded tournament will take place from June 11 to July 19, 2026.
“As national teams around the world compete for a place at the historic FIFA World Cup 26, I am thrilled that so many football-loving fans want to be part of this landmark event in North America,” said FIFA President Gianni Infantino. “It’s an incredible response and a wonderful sign that the biggest, most inclusive FIFA World Cup in history is capturing the imagination of supporters everywhere.”
