An exclusive domestic window for FIFA World Cup 2026 tickets opens on November 12 for registered fans in host nations. Residents of Canada, Mexico, and the United States who entered the Early Ticket Draw will have a chance to purchase single match tickets for games in their country. This phase prioritizes local fans ahead of broader sales.
FIFA has announced the start of the second phase of ticket sales for the 2026 World Cup, beginning with a domestic priority window on Wednesday, November 12. This opportunity is available to fans who registered for the Early Ticket Draw, which was open to all supporters and residents of the host countries: Canada, Mexico, and the United States.
Residents of these nations will be selected randomly for a 72-hour time slot to buy available single match tickets for matches in their own country, subject to inventory. Fans will receive confirmation 48 hours before their slot begins. Cross-nation tickets, such as for games in the United States or Mexico, are excluded from this domestic phase. During this period, 75 percent of single match tickets for this phase will be released.
"We already have seen massive interest from around the world for this tournament, and especially from within the host countries as Canada, Mexico and the United States prepare to host the biggest FIFA World Cup yet," said Heimo Schirgi, FIFA World Cup 26 chief operating officer, in a news release. "This second phase, with its host country domestic exclusivity time slot, will allow us to say thank you to these local fans."
Following the domestic window, selected domestic and global fans who entered the draw will gain access starting November 17 to purchase both single match tickets and team-specific tickets for any host country games. Confirmation will again come 48 hours in advance.
The final ticket application draw is scheduled for December 5, allowing fans to apply for specific matches once group-stage matchups are mostly confirmed.
In Canada, Toronto will host six matches at BMO Field, starting with Canada's opener on June 12, 2026, and ending with a round-of-32 knockout game on July 2. Vancouver will host seven games at BC Place, including Canada's second group-stage match on June 18 and another home game on June 24. These Canadian matches are included in the domestic priority phase.
