"In 2026, the FIFA World Cup will unfold across three countries for the first time- Canada, the United States, and Mexico-turning North America into one sprawling, exhilarating stage for the world's most beloved sport. It's the ultimate ticket to adventure for travelers who crave the pulse of a crowd as much as they do a skyline at sunset or a post-match mezcal in a hidden rooftop bar."
"The 2026 FIFA World Cup officially begins on Thursday, June 11, 2026, with the opening match taking place at Mexico City's legendary Estadio Azteca. It's a fitting place to start-a cathedral of football history, nestled in a city brimming with art, energy, and a culinary scene that could rival the tournament's grandeur. Over the following month, 48 teams will compete across North America in the biggest World Cup to date."
"Ticket sales for the FIFA World Cup 2026 officially begin on September 10, 2025. The first phase is a Visa cardholder exclusive, meaning only fans who register for a FIFA Ticketing Account and use a Visa card can apply through a random draw. The Visa exclusive application period runs for several days in early September, and tickets will be distributed using a randomized lottery system, so it's not first-come, first-served."
The 2026 FIFA World Cup will unfold across Canada, the United States, and Mexico from June 11 to July 19, 2026. The tournament opens at Mexico City's Estadio Azteca and concludes at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, after 104 matches featuring 48 teams. Hosting matches across North America creates opportunities to combine games with city exploration, culinary experiences, and local nightlife. Ticket sales begin September 10, 2025, with an initial Visa cardholder-exclusive phase that requires a FIFA Ticketing Account and uses a randomized lottery rather than first-come, first-served distribution. Fans should register early and plan logistics to build memorable multi-city itineraries around match schedules.
