TICKETS
Tickets aren't available yet, but you can register your interest on the FIFA website! Based on previous years, tickets are expected to go on sale sometime around August or September of 2025. Getting tickets usually requires an application process, as tickets are given out by a random lottery. There also are some first come, first serve tickets available though, so be sure to keep an eye out!
Note: FIFA makes it notoriously difficult to resell tickets, so beware of 3rd party websites!
WHERE TO WATCH SOCCER IN DALLAS
While we anxiously wait for the 2026 World Cup, soccer fans can still get their fix in DFW! There are plenty of spots around town to watch soccer, and you can always hit up an FC Dallas game at Toyota Stadium.
