How to Get Tickets and What to Expect for the 2026 FIFA World Cup Matches in Vancouver

Vancouver is set to host several matches during the 2026 FIFA World Cup, part of the North American tournament. The city’s BC Place stadium will feature seven games, including two group stage matches featuring Team Canada and a Round of 16 contest.

Eleven years after hosting the Women’s World Cup final, Vancouver will welcome world-class soccer talent once again. Surrounded by stunning mountain views on one side and the ocean on the other, the city offers a unique backdrop for the event.

Where to Buy Tickets

Official ticket sales are managed by FIFA, who held lottery draws before the tournament. If you want to stay updated on ticket releases for Vancouver matches, you can register for news here.
