Representative ImageAs anticipation builds for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, set to take place across the US, Mexico, and Canada, fans are bracing for steep ticket prices and significant travel demands. According to SeatPick's analysis, the USA ranks as the third most expensive team to watch, with ticket prices soaring to $98,872 for the most sought-after matches.
The study revealed that Mexico tops the list with tickets reaching $85,056, whilst Portugal follows with prices peaking at $117,005. The USA's average ticket price stands at $2,718, reflecting the heightened local and international interest in the US Men's National Team as co-hosts of the tournament.
In addition to high costs, USA supporters will face extensive travel during the group stages. Fans will need to cover nearly 2,000 miles between matches, the highest travel requirement among teams in Group D. This distance is 515% more than what Paraguay fans will travel, highlighting the logistical challenges for US supporters.
SeatPick's findings underscore the financial and logistical hurdles fans must navigate to support their teams. The substantial travel demands, coupled with high ticket prices, could significantly impact fan planning, including flights and accommodation. As the tournament approaches, these factors may influence attendance and fan experience at the World Cup.
