How to Get Last-Minute World Cup Tickets for the Knockout Stage

The knockout stage of the 2026 FIFA World Cup is in full swing, and the tournament so far has been spectacular.

Hosts Canada, Mexico, and the United States have all advanced from their groups, beaten their Round of 32 opponents, and soared confidently into the forthcoming Round of 16. The group stage may have seen the end of Scotland’s Tartan Army, but Norway’s Viking Rowers are still weathering the storm as they prepare to face Brazil. And the stars have come out to shine: Leo Messi, Kylian Mbappé, Erling Haaland, Harry Kane, Vinicius Jr., Cristiano Ronaldo… No matter who you’re rooting for, there’s a great game waiting just around the corner.

Luckily, for fans looking to be a part of the action in person instead of in front of a TV screen, there are still ways to get tickets to the remaining World Cup games before the tournament concludes on July 19th. Plenty of deals remain on the secondary market, with available games in Philadelphia, Dallas, Seattle, Kansas City, New Jersey/New York, Atlanta, Boston, Los Angeles, Miami, Vancouver, Mexico City, and more.

Fans of the US will be happy to know that their upcoming Round of 16 match against Belgium at Seattle’s Lumen Field on July 6th still has plenty of available tickets on StubHub, albeit higher in the stands; meanwhile, those looking to catch Messi in his last World Cup dance with Argentina might want to look at their potential Round of 16 game in Atlanta on July 7th — that is, unless Cape Verde can do the unthinkable and knock out La Albiceleste before then.

Tickets may not be as affordable as the initial secondary market drop right before the tournament began, but given that multiple matchups between nations have yet to be confirmed, there’s always a chance that something opens up right before the next stage of knockout games. Plus, it’s unknown when the US, Canada, or Mexico will host the World Cup again, so it’s essentially your last chance to be a part of the action indefinitely.

Check inventory over on StubHub, as well as SeatGeek — where promo code SEATGEEK10 takes $10 off your first order of over $150.
