Reported by Nick Reyes on February 7, 2026 — Starting February 10, 2026, cardholders of Chase Sapphire Reserve, Chase Sapphire Preferred, Chase Sapphire Reserve for Business, and J.P. Morgan Reserve will have an exclusive opportunity to purchase tickets for the U.S. matches of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. This is a direct purchase channel rather than a lottery, although prices are expected to be dynamically priced based on market demand.
The purchase window runs from February 10 through February 24, and inventory is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. Only Category 1 and Category 2 seats for matches held in the United States are eligible. Purchases are limited to 4 tickets per match and 40 tickets per household in total. Tickets must be paid in full with an eligible Visa card, and they are non-refundable and non-transferable. Prices for these premium tickets are expected to be steep, but this gives eligible cardholders a direct purchase channel without a lottery, so interested readers should act early.
