World Cup 2026 Round of 16 Tickets: Matchups, Dates & How to Buy

The World Cup 2026 Round of 16 is fast approaching as the Round of 32 draws to a close. The tournament bracket is now set, leaving little room for surprises.

A headline fixture has already been confirmed: co-hosts Canada will face Morocco in Houston on July 4th, opening the knockout round. Other powerhouses like Brazil and Paraguay have secured their places, stirring excitement across stadiums in the USA, Mexico, and Canada.

Confirmed Round of 16 Matches

The main official ticket lotteries for the World Cup, including the Visa Presale, Early Ticket Draw, and Random Selection Draw after the group stage, have ended. Over 500 million ticket requests passed through these phases, making primary tickets scarce now.

The current option is the Last-Minute Sales Phase, which started April 1. This isn't a lottery; tickets go on sale first-come, first-served with instant confirmation. This is your last chance to buy official FIFA tickets directly.

The Official FIFA Resale Marketplace is open too. It’s the authorized place to trade verified tickets at regulated prices as the event nears.

If you miss out there, secondary sites like StubHub may offer last-minute seats. Always read the terms before purchasing from resellers.
