FIFA World Cup 26™ Tickets - What Happens Next?
Football Australia will receive an allotment of tickets to distribute to FA+ Members for each of Australia's FIFA World Cup 26™ matches, in coordination with FIFA Ticketing.
Only FA+ members will be able to access this ticket allocation from Football Australia.
Not an FA+ member? Register now - you still have time.
On Tuesday 9 December, Football Australia will provide all FA+ members with a full list of dates, processes and FAQs to assist our members to apply for our supporter ticket allocation. We will also advise when FA+ members will receive their Access Codes.
Upon that confirmed date, FA+ members will then receive a link and unique access code from Football Australia, via email, to gain entry to the FIFA Ticketing portal. The access code will only be available for one-time use and cannot be shared. FA+ members interested in applying for tickets should use the email address registered with their FA+ account and ensure that they use the same email address for their FIFA ID.
Once registered for a FAN ID, you will receive a confirmation email with a link to verify your account; please note that you must be at least 13 years old to register for a FIFA ID, and at least 18 years old to sign up for a FIFA ticketing account and purchase FIFA World Cup 26™ tickets.
The full list of eligibility requirements to apply for FIFA World Cup tickets (Football Australia’s supporter allocation) are listed below. Applicants must:
• Be a FA+ Member (minimum 18 years of age requirement) AND
• Have a FIFA ID to access the ticket portal (applicants will be prompted to sign in or register when first accessing the FIFA ticket portal)
The application process is not first-come, first-served and FA+ members can apply at any point during the application window, provided they have received an Access Code from Football Australia. The application process will open at 3:00am AEDT on Friday 12 December (11:00am ET, 5:00pm CET on Thursday 11 December) and close at 3:00am AEDT on Wednesday 14 January, 2026 (11:00am ET, 5:00pm CET on Tuesday 13 January, 2026).
