The 2026 FIFA World Cup promises to be historic, being the first ever hosted across three countries— the United States, Canada, and Mexico—and the largest edition in history, featuring 48 teams competing for the iconic trophy.
FIFA has now opened applications for the Visa Presale Draw, running from Wednesday, September 10, to Friday, September 19, giving qualifying Visa cardholders an early chance to secure tickets.
The presale is an exclusive opportunity for Visa cardholders to access tickets before the general public sale. It is part of FIFA’s phased ticketing system, designed to manage high demand and ensure fair access for fans.
Fans eager to attend the World Cup have multiple ticket options designed to suit different preferences.
Tickets will be released in phases, with availability varying depending on the timing of your purchase. Here’s what you need to know:
