FIFA announced Thursday that over one million tickets have already been sold for the 2026 World Cup , marking a strong start to what is expected to be the largest sporting event ever held across North America, APNews reports. The governing body said ticket buyers span 212 countries and territories, even though less than two-thirds of the tournament field has been finalized.

Unsurprisingly, the biggest demand came from fans in the United States, Mexico, and Canada — the three co-hosts of the tournament.

The tournament is set to run from June 11 through July 19, 2026. Expand Tweet
