2026 World Cup: Here’s how much tickets will cost to see games in Canada
The latest phase of FIFA World Cup tickets release opened this week and it might cost you your monthly mortgage or rent payment to see a game in Canada.
Here’s what you need to know.
2026 World Cup tickets
There will be 13 matches held in Toronto and Vancouver for next year’s World Cup and you have to be lucky enough to win a random draw to even have the chance to purchase tickets.
This week the third of four phases of ticket sales opened, with only about 20 per cent of tickets sold in the first two phases. Don’t worry if you haven’t entered the draw period yet because the third phase runs until January 13 and there is no advantage in signing up for tickets earlier.
Prospective ticket buyers provide their name and information for what games/dates they want to attend and they are entered into a random draw. Be careful, however, as you are automatically charged for your tickets in February if your name is drawn.
