Why now? The third phase of ticketing began today, according to tournament officials.

How it works: Ticketing for all games — including those at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood — happens in phases through a lottery draw system. You must register a profile through FIFA’s site in order to enter.

Dates to know: Fans have until Jan. 13 to enter this phase of ticketing. Keep in mind, entering the draw doesn’t guarantee you a ticket. Results from the draw will be announced in February.

The complete 2026 L.A. schedule and going prices for one ticket: 

  • June 12 at 6 p.m.: USA vs. Paraguay costs between $1,100 and $2,700
  • June 15 at 6 p.m.: Iran vs. New Zealand costs between $140 and $450
  • June 18 at Noon: Switzerland vs. Italy, Wales, Bosnia-Herzegovina/Northern Ireland winner costs between $180 and $500
  • June 21 at Noon: Belgium vs. Iran costs between $180 and $500
  • June 25 at 7 p.m.: Türkiye /Romania/Slovakia/Kosova winner vs. USA costs between $180 and $500
  • June 28 at Noon: Round of 32 match costs between $305 and $790
  • July 2 at Noon: Round of 32 match costs between $250 and $790
  • July 10 at Noon: Quarterfinals match costs between $800 and $1,775

On the secondary market: Prices for a single ticket to watch USA and Paraguay on June 12 at SoFi Stadium are slightly higher than what’s listed on FIFA’s ticketing portal. As of Thursday, the lowest price for a single ticket to that game on StubHub is around $1,580, and that includes fees. On FIFA’s ticketing portal, the same game is listed at $1,120.
