2026 World Cup Ticket Prices for France Matches Reach High Levels in the US

The ticket sales for the 2026 FIFA World Cup have officially launched, revealing notably high prices for matches, especially those involving the French national team in the United States. The minimum ticket price is set at $180 (153 euros) for less favorable seats, but supporting France will significantly increase fans' expenses.

For France's group stage match against Senegal in New Jersey, category 3 tickets start at $220 (187 euros), category 2 at $465 (395 euros), and category 1 at $620 (527 euros). Similar pricing tiers apply for their second game in Philadelphia, against an as-yet-undetermined opponent, with seats costing $220, $430, and $600 respectively. The final group match versus Norway in Boston will see prices climb further to $265, $500, and $700.

As the tournament progresses, prices escalate sharply. Should France top their group, Round of 16 tickets in New York range from $280 to $750. Quarterfinals in Philadelphia will cost between $320 and $840, while semifinals in Dallas are priced between $930 and $3,295. The final match, held in the US, is expected to reach staggering prices, from $4,185 for category 3 seats up to $8,680 for the highest category.

Additionally, the World Cup's opening match in Mexico will not be free, with tickets priced between $1,020 and $2,355. The French Football Federation allowed fans to register on its ticketing platform for direct access, a privilege available until the prior Thursday.

These high ticket prices reflect the premium placed on attending matches featuring France, signaling challenges for fans hoping to follow the national team across venues in the US during the 2026 World Cup.
