Topline:
Los Angeles is six months away from hosting eight World Cup matches, and there’s still time to get tickets in the latest FIFA draw.
Why now? The third phase of ticketing began today, according to tournament officials.
How it works: Ticketing for all games — including those at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood — happens in phases through a lottery draw system. You must register a profile through FIFA’s site in order to enter.
Dates to know: Fans have until Jan. 13 to enter this phase of ticketing. Keep in mind, entering the draw doesn’t guarantee you a ticket. Results from the draw will be announced in February.
The complete 2026 L.A. schedule and going prices for one ticket:
- June 12 at 6 p.m.: USA vs. Paraguay costs between $1,100 and $2,700
- June 15 at 6 p.m.: Iran vs. New Zealand costs between $140 and $450
- June 18 at Noon: Switzerland vs. Italy, Wales, Bosnia-Herzegovina/Northern Ireland winner costs between $180 and $500
- June 21 at Noon: Belgium vs. Iran costs between $180 and $500
- June 25 at 7 p.m.: Türkiye /Romania/Slovakia/Kosova winner vs. USA costs between $180 and $500
- June 28 at Noon: Round of 32 match costs between $305 and $790
- July 2 at Noon: Round of 32 match costs between $250 and $790
- July 10 at Noon: Quarterfinals match costs between $800 and $1,775
On the secondary market: Prices for a single ticket to watch USA and Paraguay on June 12 at SoFi Stadium are slightly higher than what’s listed on FIFA’s ticketing portal. As of Thursday, the lowest price for a single ticket to that game on StubHub is around $1,580, and that includes fees. On FIFA’s ticketing portal, the same game is listed at $1,120.
