The countdown to the FIFA World Cup 2026 continues, and the excitement is intensifying with the latest announcement from FIFA and On Location, the Official Hospitality Provider for the tournament. For the first time, premium hospitality packages for all venues across the three host countries—Canada, Mexico, and the United States—are now available for purchase. This marks a significant milestone as fans worldwide can officially secure their seats at the largest FIFA World Cup in history.
Where Can You Buy Official 2026 World Cup Tickets?
Fans can now purchase official hospitality packages exclusively through FIFAWorldCup.com/Hospitality and via authorized sales agents appointed by On Location, the global leader in experiential hospitality. While there are unofficial channels offering tickets, FIFA strongly advises against buying from these sources, as only packages purchased through official avenues are guaranteed to be valid for stadium entry.
To facilitate access worldwide, On Location is also partnering with Major League Soccer (MLS), Host Committees, local teams, and stadiums.
What Hospitality Packages Are Available for the FIFA World Cup 2026?
The available hospitality packages are designed to cater to a wide variety of fan experiences, from attending a single match to following an entire team throughout the tournament. These packages provide more than just premium seating—they offer exclusive access to lounges, luxury amenities, gourmet cuisine, and personalized services that elevate the World Cup experience.
Single Match Packages
Fans can purchase hospitality for one specific match during the group stage or the round of 32. These packages include premium seating and access to the Pitchside Lounge or other shared hospitality areas. This option is ideal for fans looking for an unforgettable experience at a particular game without committing to multiple matches.
Match Series Packages
For those planning a more comprehensive experience, the Match Series offers customizable packages for two, four, or eight matches. Fans can mix and match venues across different host cities, ensuring a diverse and exciting World Cup journey. These packages provide access to private suites, the Pitchside Lounge, and other shared hospitality spaces.
Follow My Team Series
Dedicated supporters can opt for the Follow My Team series, which allows fans to attend every group stage and round-of-32 match of their chosen team. However, this option excludes the host nations—Canada, Mexico, and the USA. The package includes entry to the FIFA Pavilion, an exclusive retreat for pre- and post-match hospitality, along with premium stadium seating.
Venue Series Packages
The Venue Series enables fans to experience between four and nine matches at a single stadium of their choice. For example, the package for the New York New Jersey Stadium even includes a seat for the FIFA World Cup 26 Final on July 19, 2026. This option is perfect for fans wanting to soak up the atmosphere of one city while enjoying multiple World Cup matches.
These packages go far beyond standard ticketing. In addition to premium seating, they include:
- On-site concierge services
- Regionally inspired gourmet food and beverages
- Exclusive access to lounges and VIP areas
- Immersive cultural experiences
- Special guest appearances and live entertainment
- Commemorative gifts and memorabilia
- Expedited venue entry through dedicated security checkpoints
Heimo Schirgi, Chief Operating Officer of the FIFA World Cup, emphasized the value of these experiences:
“As the world’s biggest single-sport event comes to North America, we’re excited to expand access to our premium hospitality offering across all three host countries. Fans can now secure exclusive experiences that combine world-class service, the best seats in the house, and an unforgettable atmosphere at the FIFA World Cup 26.”
Similarly, Alicia Falken, General Manager of On Location for the FIFA World Cup 26, highlighted the magnitude of this program:
“In just under a year’s time, FIFA and On Location will deliver the largest hospitality programme in FIFA World Cup history, bringing football fans from around the globe together to experience the tournament. These hospitality packages will help elevate fans’ tournament experiences and allow their passion to flourish during these unprecedented experiences.”
