Starting today, Feb. 10, soccer fans who have a Chase Sapphire credit card — either a Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card or a Chase Sapphire Reserve® — have exclusive access to buy tickets to the 2026 soccer World Cup. The tournament will be played in the US, Canada and Mexico in June and July this year, and Chase Sapphire card holders can purchase up to four tickets per match across all US host cities.

Chase hasn’t said what the prices will be, but we know that fans have criticized FIFA, the international soccer body that organizes the competition, for setting World Cup ticket prices too high.

To buy tickets, you must open a free account with FIFA. Then, starting Feb. 10 at 12 p.m. ET through Feb. 24, 2026 (or while supplies last), you can head to Chase’s Sapphire Experiences site, where you’ll see a dedicated FIFA section that says “Access tickets.” You’ll have to enter your card number to verify eligibility, and then you’ll receive a unique link redirecting to the FIFA site, where you can actually buy the tickets. Chase recommends saving or copying the link just in case, since eligible card holders can only receive up to two links.

Each card holder can buy up to four tickets per available match and up to 40 total for the entire tournament. You can’t use your Chase Ultimate Rewards points to buy them, though, since they are sold through the official FIFA ticketing system.

The following cards qualify for this exclusive offer:

• Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card ($95 annual fee)
• Chase Sapphire Reserve® ($795 annual fee)
• Chase Sapphire Reserve for Business℠ ($795 annual fee)
• J.P. Morgan Reserve Card (not currently accepting applications)

Card holders will have access to matches from June 12 through July 18, 2026, in all US host cities:

• Atlanta
• Boston
• Dallas
• Houston
• Kansas City, Missouri
• Los Angeles
• Miami
• New York/New Jersey
• Philadelphia
• San Francisco
• Seattle

The US is playing on June 12 in Inglewood, California, against Paraguay; June 19 in Seattle against Australia; and June 25 in Inglewood against a team to be determined. If the team passes the group stage, there will be more matches.

This year, the most-watched sporting event in the world — which takes place every four years — is the largest it’s ever been, with 48 national teams taking part. The US men’s team participates automatically, without needing to qualify, since the US is one of the three host nations.
