How to Buy World Cup 2026 Tickets Through FIFA Resale
The FIFA authorized resale platform is the primary remaining option for most matches. Here is the step-by-step process.
1
Create or Log In to Your FIFA Account
Go to FIFA.com and create an account if you do not have one. You need a FIFA account to access the resale platform. Use the name that will appear on your ID at the gate — it cannot be changed after the ticket is registered.
2
Navigate to the Resale Marketplace
From your FIFA account dashboard, find the tickets section and select the resale marketplace. Filter for Los Angeles (SoFi Stadium) matches. You can filter by match round, date, and category.
3
Select Your Match and Category
Choose your specific match and preferred category. Category 1 (lower bowl midfield) is premium. Category 3 (upper bowl) offers the lowest price. Resale listings show the price per ticket and the section zone when available.
4
Complete the Purchase
Pay through FIFA's secure system. The ticket is transferred directly to your FIFA account — no physical ticket or PDF is generated. You will receive a confirmation email. The barcode activates in the FIFA app closer to match day.
5
Download the FIFA App Before Match Day
Install the official FIFA+ app on your phone and log into your account. Your ticket's rotating barcode lives here. Screenshotting it will not work — the barcode changes every 60 seconds. Arrive with full phone battery and the app already open.
6
Bring Matching ID to the Gate
FIFA's entry system verifies your photo ID against the ticket holder name in their system. Your passport or government-issued ID must match the name on your FIFA account exactly. This applies even for transferred tickets — the receiving account name must match your ID.

World Cup 2026 Tickets FAQ
Answers to the most common questions about buying and using World Cup 2026 tickets in Los Angeles.
Where can I buy World Cup 2026 tickets for Los Angeles?
FIFA World Cup 2026 tickets for Los Angeles are sold exclusively through the official FIFA ticketing platform at FIFA.com/tickets. No other seller — including SoFi Stadium, Ticketmaster, StubHub, or SeatGeek — is an authorized primary seller. The FIFA-authorized peer-to-peer resale platform (accessed through your FIFA account) is the only approved secondary market channel. Third-party resellers exist but carry a significant counterfeit risk that FIFA does not cover.
Are World Cup 2026 Los Angeles tickets still available?
Official primary sale tickets are sold through FIFA.com. Availability varies by match: group stage matches with top-ranked nations (Brazil, Argentina, France, England, Spain) sold through quickly, while lower-profile group stage matchups may still have tickets in some categories. The Semifinal at SoFi Stadium is effectively sold out in primary channels; FIFA's authorized resale platform is the main remaining option. Check FIFA.com/tickets for real-time availability.
How much do World Cup 2026 tickets cost in Los Angeles?
Official FIFA ticket prices for SoFi Stadium range from approximately $29 to $300+ depending on match type and category. Group stage Category 3 (upper bowl) starts around $29-$50. Group stage Category 1 (lower bowl premium) runs $100-$175. Round of 32 adds a premium over equivalent group stage categories. Semifinal Category 1 exceeds $300 officially; FIFA authorized resale prices for the Semifinal run $500-$2,000+ depending on when you buy.
What is the FIFA authorized resale platform for World Cup 2026?
FIFA operates a peer-to-peer resale platform within each ticket holder's FIFA account portal. When an existing ticket holder lists a ticket for resale, the transaction runs through FIFA's system, which verifies authenticity and transfers the ticket to the buyer's FIFA account. This is the only resale method FIFA endorses and the safest way to buy a resale ticket. Access it at FIFA.com by logging into your account and navigating to the resale section.
What are the World Cup 2026 ticket categories at SoFi Stadium?
FIFA World Cup 2026 uses four main ticket categories at SoFi Stadium. Category 1 covers premium lower bowl sections closest to midfield — the highest price and best view. Category 2 covers mid-tier lower bowl sections and select upper bowl areas. Category 3 covers upper bowl sections at a budget price. Category 4 is a lower-price general access category. An Accessible category provides seats for fans with disabilities at each price tier. Seating assignments within your category are determined by FIFA and SoFi Stadium's configuration.
Can I buy World Cup 2026 tickets at the SoFi Stadium box office?
No. FIFA World Cup 2026 tickets are not sold through SoFi Stadium or its box office under any circumstances. All ticketing — including walk-up purchases on match day — is handled exclusively through FIFA.com. The SoFi Stadium box office will not have any allocation of World Cup tickets. Approach any seller offering box office walk-up World Cup tickets with extreme caution.
How do I get World Cup 2026 Semifinal tickets in Los Angeles?
The SoFi Stadium Semifinal is one of the most in-demand matches of the entire 2026 World Cup. Official primary tickets sold through very quickly during subscriber priority and lottery windows. Your remaining options are: (1) FIFA's authorized resale platform within your FIFA account — check daily as holders list tickets; (2) FIFA Hospitality packages through the official FIFA Hospitality platform — premium packages include tickets plus catering and exclusive areas; (3) Fan-to-fan transfers from known contacts within FIFA's transfer system. Avoid third-party resellers for this match — the counterfeit risk at the Semifinal is extremely high.
Are StubHub or SeatGeek authorized for World Cup 2026 tickets?
No. FIFA explicitly prohibits the resale of World Cup 2026 tickets through unauthorized third-party platforms including StubHub, SeatGeek, Vivid Seats, and similar sites. Tickets purchased through these platforms carry a high counterfeit risk and may not scan at the gate — FIFA uses rotating barcodes that only function through the official app. Use only FIFA.com and the FIFA-authorized resale platform within your account.
What is a FIFA Hospitality package for World Cup 2026 in Los Angeles?
FIFA Hospitality packages for World Cup 2026 are premium ticket-and-amenity bundles sold through the official FIFA Hospitality platform (fifaworldcup.com/hospitality). They include premium seating, dedicated hospitality lounges, catering, and exclusive experiences not available with standard tickets. Package prices start around $500-$700 per person for group stage matches and increase significantly for the Semifinal. FIFA Hospitality is one of the remaining ways to secure guaranteed tickets for sold-out matches.
What happens to my World Cup 2026 ticket if my team is eliminated?
For group stage matches, you attend regardless of which specific national teams are playing — tickets are assigned to groups, not nations. For knockout round matches (Round of 32, Semifinal), if a team-specific version of the ticket was purchased, FIFA's refund and resale policy applies. Check FIFA.com for the specific policy applicable to your ticket type. The resale platform within your account becomes available once a match is assigned to specific teams.
Can I transfer my World Cup 2026 ticket to someone else?
Yes, but only through FIFA's official ticket transfer system within your FIFA account portal. FIFA controls all ticket transfers to prevent unauthorized resale and counterfeit fraud. Transferring outside the FIFA system (printing screenshots, sharing account access) violates FIFA's terms and can result in ticket cancellation. Transfers must go to a verified FIFA account. The recipient must have their own FIFA.com account and match-day ID that matches the account name.
Is there accessible seating for World Cup 2026 at SoFi Stadium?
Yes. FIFA allocates an Accessible category for fans with disabilities at each match. Accessible seats are purchased through the same FIFA.com ticketing system as standard tickets. SoFi Stadium has dedicated accessible seating areas throughout the bowl with companion seats. Purchase through the accessible category on FIFA.com and contact FIFA customer support if you need assistance with your specific accessibility requirements. Accessible category tickets include seating at all price levels.
What phases did World Cup 2026 ticket sales go through?
FIFA World Cup 2026 ticket sales opened in phases beginning in 2023. Phase 1 was a subscriber priority window for fans who registered interest at FIFA.com. Phase 2 was a public lottery draw for high-demand matches. Phase 3 offered first-come, first-served sales through FIFA.com. Last-minute sales opened closer to the tournament for remaining inventory. By early 2026, most official primary tickets are sold; the FIFA authorized resale platform is the primary remaining channel for fans looking to attend.
What is the best way to get last-minute World Cup 2026 tickets in Los Angeles?
The safest last-minute options are: (1) Check the FIFA authorized resale platform daily — ticket holders list frequently as plans change, especially for group stage matches; (2) FIFA Hospitality packages often have last-minute availability at a premium; (3) Watch FIFA.com for any last-minute official sales. Avoid street sellers and unauthorized platforms near the venue on match day — counterfeit tickets are confiscated at the gate with no refund. For the Semifinal specifically, set alerts on the FIFA resale platform and check it multiple times per day.
What ID do I need to show with my World Cup 2026 ticket?
FIFA requires match-day ID that matches the name registered to the FIFA account that purchased or received the ticket. Acceptable ID includes a valid passport, government-issued photo ID, or national ID card. At SoFi Stadium, FIFA security staff will verify your ID against the ticket holder name in the FIFA system. This policy applies to all ticket holders, including those who received transferred tickets — the receiving account name must match the ID presented at the gate.
