TICKETING

Accordion Content

CanadaRED is the exclusive platform for fans and supporters to apply to access tickets through Canada Soccer’s FIFA World Cup 26™ ticket allocation, for Canada’s matches. All CanadaRED members at all tiers will have the opportunity to apply to access tickets. It is expected that demand will dramatically exceed availability, and a weighted random draw will be conducted to determine who receives tickets. Here is how the ticket lottery for Canada Soccer’s FIFA World Cup 26TM ticket allocation will work

  • A separate lottery will be held for each match that Canada plays.
  • An equal number of tickets will be made available for the lottery at each tier.
  • The lottery begins at the highest membership tier (Icon).
  • Members who are not successful in the lottery at their membership tier will be automatically entered into the lottery at lower tiers.
  • The process repeats until a lottery is held at all tiers.

Canada Soccer will ensure fair and equitable access in accordance with ticketing policies and process established by FIFA.
