How to get World Cup 2026 last-16 tickets
The vast majority of World Cup tickets have now been purchased, with FIFA's ticket lotteries now officially over.
Their Last-Minute Sales Phase is ongoing, having kicked off in April, and is the last chance for fans to buy tickets directly from FIFA. However, availability is extremely limited.
FIFA do have an official resale programme, which is the best way for fans to buy and sell official tickets, but fans may be forced to turn to the secondary market.
However, fans are urged to be cautious when using the secondary market as there is a risk of fraud.
Which stadiums are hosting 2026 World Cup last-16 games?

FGG says: The hottest ticket on the continent
As the tournament reaches the business end, we expect to see demand increase for tickets.
FIFA has already touted the fact that World Cup attendance has exceeded 5 million for the first time, with the previous record of 3,587,538 set at the 1994 tournament. The majority of games have been sold out so far and that will likely continue.
