How to Buy USA vs Turkey Tickets
All FIFA World Cup 2026 tickets are sold exclusively through FIFA.com. No third-party platform sells official primary tickets. For June 25, primary sales have largely concluded — the FIFA-authorized resale platform and FIFA Hospitality packages are the primary remaining options.
Check FIFA-authorized resale
Log into your FIFA.com account and access the peer-to-peer resale platform. Ticket holders who can no longer attend list here through rotating digital barcodes that work only through the official FIFA app. This is the safest secondary market option — barcodes regenerate on transfer, eliminating counterfeit risk. Inventory updates continuously as plans change closer to June 25.
Consider FIFA Hospitality
FIFA Hospitality packages at fifaworldcup.com/hospitality include a guaranteed ticket, premium catering, and exclusive lounge access at SoFi Stadium. This is the most reliable way to secure a ticket when general resale inventory is limited. Hospitality packages for USA vs Turkey start at approximately $600 to $2,000+ per person. For groups or corporate buyers, hospitality is typically the most reliable last-mile option.
Monitor FIFA.com for last-minute releases
FIFA occasionally releases last-minute official inventory 72 to 48 hours before kickoff from returns, compliance checks, and unsold hospitality returns. Check FIFA.com/tickets daily as June 25 approaches. These releases sell out in minutes — have your FIFA account logged in, payment method saved, and the page bookmarked for instant action when inventory appears.
Avoid unauthorized resale platforms
FIFA's World Cup tickets use rotating digital barcodes that only validate through the official FIFA app. Tickets purchased on StubHub, Vivid Seats, Craigslist, or social media have a high rate of gate failure — the barcode that validated at purchase will be invalid by match day if transferred outside the official system. FIFA actively voids tickets transferred through unauthorized channels. Do not risk a June 25 experience on an unverified platform.
USA vs Turkey Ticket Pricing Estimates
Resale prices for USA vs Turkey are expected to rise after the June 12 USA vs Paraguay result. If the US win vs Paraguay, demand for the June 25 ticket increases significantly as fans seek to witness the USA's qualification campaign in person. If the US draw or lose on June 12, June 25 becomes a higher-stakes must-win — which also drives secondary market prices higher. All resale estimates are as of publication; check FIFA-authorized resale for current pricing.

What is the kickoff time for USA vs Turkey on June 25?
FIFA confirms specific kickoff times for each match closer to the tournament start. For US national team matches, broadcast windows are set by the rights-holding US broadcasters (Fox Sports and Telemundo for the 2026 World Cup).

An evening kickoff (7:00 PM to 9:00 PM PT) is considered more likely for the June 25 match given its importance and viewership potential. Check FIFA.com and Fox Sports for the confirmed kickoff time once announced.
What group is Team USA in for the 2026 World Cup and how does June 25 matter?
Team USA plays Paraguay on June 12 and Turkey on June 25 as their two group stage matches at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. The 2026 FIFA World Cup uses a 48-team format with 12 groups of 4 teams — the top 2 from each group plus the 8 best third-place teams advance to the Round of 32. A win vs Turkey on June 25 secures US qualification with maximum points. A draw may be enough to advance, depending on earlier group results. Even a loss can still advance the USA if the group standings are favorable. The June 25 match is almost universally expected to determine whether the USA advances from the group with or without a knockout-stage seed advantage.
Has the USA ever played Turkey in a World Cup before?
Yes. The United States and Turkey met in the 2002 FIFA World Cup third-place match in Daegu, South Korea. Turkey defeated the United States 3-2 in that consolation final. It remains the most significant prior meeting between the two nations on the World Cup stage. The June 25 group stage clash at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles — in front of a home crowd — represents a high-profile rematch setting for the US national team, with far greater stakes for both nations' qualification paths.
What time do SoFi Stadium gates open for USA vs Turkey?
SoFi Stadium gates open approximately 2 hours before kickoff for FIFA World Cup 2026 matches. FIFA recommends arriving 2 to 2.5 hours before kickoff for international matches due to the larger international audience and more extensive security processing compared to NFL games. Have your FIFA mobile ticket visible in the official FIFA app before reaching the gate — paper printouts are not accepted. TAP card ready if using Metro. For USA vs Turkey specifically, expect entry congestion to be substantial given the match's significance to both fan bases.

SoFi Stadium's standard clear bag policy applies for all World Cup 2026 matches. Permitted: clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC bags no larger than 12x6x12 inches. Small clutch bags up to 4.5x6.5 inches without the clear-bag requirement. Not permitted: backpacks, non-clear bags, or any oversized bag. FIFA may implement additional security measures beyond the standard NFL policy — check FIFA.com and official SoFi Stadium communications closer to June 25 for any World Cup-specific restrictions. Have your FIFA app ticket visible before reaching the security checkpoint.
