The 2026 World Cup third-place play-off between England and France has yet to sell out, with thousands of tickets still available just a day before kick-off.

Supporters hoping to make a late trip to Miami can still buy seats through both FIFA's general sale and official resale platforms.

Thousands of England vs France third-place play-off tickets are available

Around 7,000 tickets remain available for England's World Cup third-place play-off against France at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami.

As of 10am BST on Friday, FIFA still had 1,246 standard tickets available through its general sale platform, with prices starting at $865 (£657) for Category Three seats and rising to $1,125 (£855), per the BBC.

A further 5,864 tickets were listed on FIFA's official resale marketplace, where the cheapest Category Three seats were available from $455 (£346), plus FIFA's 15% resale fee.

Many supporters looking to offload their tickets have also accepted significant losses. Category One tickets originally priced at $1,125 (£855), for example, were being resold for as little as $659 (£500).

Despite the lower demand for the bronze medal match, Sunday's World Cup final between Spain and Argentina has also not officially sold out.

Only 32 standard tickets remained on general sale on Friday morning, although these carried eye-watering prices ranging from $29,995 (£22,796) to $32,970 (£25,057).

More than 1,000 final tickets were also listed on FIFA's resale platform, while one seller had advertised a ticket for an extraordinary $2 million (£1.52 million).

As with all resale listings, however, sellers choose their own prices, and these do not necessarily reflect the amount buyers are willing to pay.

With England no longer in the final, it is perhaps no surprise that demand for the third-place play-off has softened considerably.

Thousands of resale tickets and widespread price reductions suggest many supporters have changed their plans following Wednesday's semi-final defeat.

The contrast with Sunday's final also highlights the extremes of FIFA's ticketing market, while the showpiece remains one of the hottest tickets in world sport, the third-place play-off has become far more accessible for fans willing to make a late decision.
