Get ready to empty your wallets, football fans! Attending the much-anticipated final of the 2026 World Cup is going to set you back a small fortune! This prestigious tournament is set to take place across the USA, Mexico, and Canada, but be warned: it won’t be affordable for everyone.
According to initial ticket pricing reveals, fans can expect to pay anywhere between $2,000 and $6,370—roughly €1,860 to €5,950—for a chance to witness the biggest match of the tournament.
These astronomical prices are a stark contrast to those for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, where a Category 1 ticket for the final was priced at $1,607 (€1,495), making it actually cheaper than a Category 4 ticket ($2,300 or €2,140) for the North American finale! Talk about a luxury experience for those dreaming of seeing the world’s best crowned!
But hold onto your hats, because that’s not all! Even for the opening match, ticket prices are soaring. In Qatar, the range was between $55 (€51) and $618 (€575), but now in Mexico, fans will need to fork out between $560 (€520) for Category 4 and a whopping $2,735 (€2,555) for a Category 1 ticket. This means the 2026 World Cup—hosted by the USA, Mexico, and Canada—is shaping up to be the most expensive in history.
The Most Expensive World Cup Ever
This price inflation is bound to raise eyebrows among fans, yet it also reflects the immense excitement surrounding this mega World Cup, the first to feature 48 teams. Passionate supporters, take note: if you want to experience the magic live, you better be ready to break the bank!
