Watching World Cup 2026 from stadium just got costlier as FIFA implements another ticket price hike


When FIFA first announced prices in September, tickets on its website ranged from $60 for early group matches to $6,730 for the final. However, with dynamic pricing being introduced for the first time at a World Cup, those figures have continued to climb.

FIFA offers tickets in four categories, with Category 1 being the premium seating.

With the draw completed, every nation now knows its group and the potential route it must navigate. One storyline already generating buzz is the possibility of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo crossing paths in a quarterfinal showdown in Kansas City—provided Argentina and Portugal finish atop their groups.

But even with the matchups laid out, fans aren’t assured tickets to the fixtures they request.

The ticket application window opened on Dec. 11 at 11 a.m. ET (1600 GMT) and will run until Jan. 13, 2026.

Here are the prices for FIFA World Cup group stage matches as Category 1 / Category 2 / Category 3:
