FIFA Visa Presale Registration 2026

Here are the details on the FIFA World Cup 2026 Visa Presale Draw registration—what it is, who’s eligible, and how to take part.

🎯 What is the Visa Presale Draw

The Visa Presale Draw is the first phase in ticket sales for FIFA World Cup 26™. It gives Visa cardholders an exclusive chance to buy tickets before general sales open.
You don’t buy tickets immediately—first you apply for a draw, and if selected, you get a time slot during which you can purchase tickets.

To take part in the draw you must:

Be 18 years or older.
Have a valid, unexpired Visa card (credit, debit, or reloadable prepaid), and it must support 3D Secure.
Create a FIFA ID and a ticketing account at FIFA.com/tickets if you haven’t already.

Step	Date / Period
Visa Presale Draw application window opens	September 10, 2025, at 11:00 AM ET

Here are the steps:

Go to FIFA.com/tickets and either create or log in with your FIFA ID.
Once logged in, complete the Visa Presale Draw application form during the registration window (Sept 10–19).
Provide your Visa card info (ensure it’s valid and supports 3D Secure).
Submit the application. You should then receive a confirmation email that your application was accepted.

Entry doesn’t guarantee tickets—you get a chance to buy, not a guarantee of availability.
Indicating your preferred matches/cities in the application does not increase your chances of being selected.
When you are selected, you’ll be given a time slot in October to make your purchase; tickets are subject to availability when that time comes.
Use your email regularly, including your spam folder, so you don’t miss the notification if you’re selected.
