Dad always wanted to go to one in his life time and since it’s in America seems like an easy way to go watch one. Went to the site, second hand sites, etc and no clear direction on how.

1. How do you actually buy them from FIFA?
2. What happens if ticket you bought says tbd:tbd? Do you get no choice in teams?

How could a ticket possibly have teams on them at this point? Hell, the European qualification process hasn't even started yet. There is essentially no way to get tickets to a specific matchup until much later after the draw has been made, which IIRC is usually the December before the tournament so December 2025.

Tickets go on sale from FIFA in December 2025. So you have a year to wait.

So far only the host countries (USA, Mexico, Canada) have there group stage schedules set. The US will play 2 in Los Angeles and 1 Seattle out of Group D. You can see it here: World Cup Match Schedule

You can at least see the dates and locations.

Hate that all three games are on the west coast. Guess it makes sense for the teams travel but it really sucks for 3/4 of the country.

Not only are all 3 group matches on the west coast but if the US wins the group their round of 32, round of 16, and quarterfinal matches are on the west coast.

The US wouldn't play a game not on the west coast until playing in Jerryworld in the semis.

This is probably terrible to say (and I am a US fan obviously), but I rather my ticket goes to see some other teams, like a UEFA vs CONMEBOL matchup. Sorry but I can go see the US any given time.

Of course, what would happen if I were to drop hundreds of dollars on a ticket would be getting Switzerland vs Cameroon or something.

I was able to get them directly from FIFA in 1994 about a year in advance. Went to 3 group stage games in Orlando and had the time of my life.

I'd like to think I'll get them rather easily in 2026. With US Soccer moving to Atlanta and me being involved with them through assigning youth soccer tournaments in the metro area, I'd like to think I'll make enough connections to get my hands on some.
