With 50 days remaining until the start of the 2026 World Cup, FIFA’s last-minute sales phase re-opens on Wednesday with tickets for ​all 104 matches available on a first-come, first-served basis.

FIFA says ‌more than five million tickets have already been sold, out of an expected total of just over 6m for the tournament, which begins on June 11 ​across the United States, Mexico and Canada.

“At the start of ​sale, tickets will be available across categories 1 to 3 ⁠and the front-row seat categories, depending on the match,” FIFA said.

“Along ​with this set of tickets, additional tickets will continue to be released ​to the public on an ongoing basis up until the final on Sunday, 19 July (subject to availability).”

There has been much criticism over ticket prices, with a group of US ​lawmakers last month calling on FIFA to lower the cost, saying ​that the use of dynamic pricing has turned the World Cup into an exclusionary ‌enterprise ⁠at the expense of fans.

In December, FIFA introduced a small number of $60 “Supporter Entry Tier” tickets, aiming to make the World Cup more affordable for fans of qualified teams. The cheaper tickets will make up 10% of ​Participating Member Associations’ (PMAs) ​allocations.

FIFA also says ⁠variable pricing is being used, where ticket prices may be adjusted based on a review of demand and ​availability, rather than dynamic pricing, which automatically modifies ticket ​prices.

The ⁠variable pricing method was used for the opening two phases of sales — Visa presale draw and Early draw. It was not used for the third ⁠phase, ​Random Selection Draw and PMA ticket sales, but ​is now being utilised again for the last-minute sales phase.

Wednesday’s ticket sales will be available ​from 11am ET (1500 GMT).
