An Update on 2026 World Cup Tickets and Hospitality

Literally the whole world will be seeking 2026 World Cup tickets and hospitality. And now some of the details for how World Cup hospitality tickets will work are starting to come out.

Regular World Cup Tickets

The sales system for regular 2026 World Cup tickets will go through FIFA, and it will be a lottery. They have not announced much beyond that, but we know the draw for the 2026 World Cup is in December, and this will be the first time that World Cup tickets are subject to dynamic pricing.

You can register your interest for World Cup tickets on the FIFA website here.

World Cup Hospitality Tickets

FIFA has named their official hospitality provider, On Location, and right now they are offering presale access to those packages. You just go to their site, pay a $500 deposit per attendee (which of course applies to your eventual purchase), and then they will reach out to talk about which package you would like to buy.

We think the public sale of World Cup hospitality will start in February, and at that point it — as well as regular World Cup tickets — will be subject to dynamic pricing.

Quick reminder: “Hospitality” is just a regular seat during the game plus access to a lounge or “fan zone” area, usually including food and drinks.

Levels of World Cup Hospitality Tickets

From what we are hearing, there will be five levels of World Cup hospitality, with most available at each game:

  • An outdoor “pavilion” similar to the “Fan Zones” you see at many games.
  • Three levels of lounge experience, with the differences being the type and inclusiveness of lounge plus the location of the seats
  • Private suites.

World Cup Hospitality Tickets Available

For now, there are four ways to purchase World Cup hospitality.

  • A “Follow a Country” package to include all three of their group games plus, if they advance, their Round of 32 game. If your chosen country doesn’t advance, you get a ticket to the group winner’s Round of 32 game.
  • A “Venue Series” package in which you get a ticket to each game at a particular stadium — anywhere from four to eight games, depending on the venue. And since the World Cup Final is in New Jersey, that stadium series would include a ticket to the Final.
  • A Four-Game Series of any four group-stage games
  • An eight-game series to include at least four group-stage games — this package can also include the World Cup Final.

World Cup Hospitality Pricing

Here it gets pretty confusing, which is why they are running a presale and having agents reach out to interested parties. Prices will, of course, depend on several factors:

  • Which package are you buying?
  • Which level of hospitality do you want? (and are they all available at each game you want?)
  • If you are buying a four-or eight-game package, which games do you want?

We can tell you this much: Everything we’ve been told is that the cheapest World Cup hospitality ticket will start at around $2,000 US per person, per game. So those follow-your-team packages will start around $8,000 per person, and a venue package could start at around $14,000 and reach well above that — especially if you want to see the semifinals (Dallas and Atlanta) or Final (New York).

Something like a six-person suite at a venue series will easily reach beyond $100,000 — also known as corporate pricing!
