The 2026 FIFA World Cup is set to kick off in less than 45 days, and fans may still secure tickets—though prices vary widely. The tournament, the largest in soccer history, will take place across 16 host cities in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, starting June 11. With 48 teams competing in over 100 matches, demand for affordable tickets remains high.

Criticism has mounted over skyrocketing prices, including reports of a final match ticket listed at $2.3 million each. While such figures stem from scalping and resale markets in the U.S. and Canada, even official channels have seen limited availability for sub-$1,000 tickets. FIFA initially planned to sell tickets as low as $60, but most affordable options have sold out.

A social media user on X highlighted the disparity:

“In Europe the max you’ll ever pay for a ticket is maybe £1.5k and that’s to go to the Champions League final or an El Clásico. They’re selling World Cup tickets for $2.3M. God bless the United States of America, what an incredibly tapped country.”

Despite the high-profile sticker shock, tickets under $300 are still available for select matches. Below are verified listings with the lowest prices as of the latest update:

  • Saturday, June 13 – Qatar vs. Switzerland at Levi’s Stadium, San Francisco – Tickets as low as $242
