The tournament reaches its knockout peak. World Cup 2026 quarter-final tickets cover the four ties that cut the last eight down to the semi-finalists, played across the United States over three days in July. Win and you are two matches from the final; lose and the summer is over, which is what gives these games their edge.

Eight nations remain, and every one of them can taste the trophy. For the full bracket and the earlier and later rounds, the World Cup 2026 tickets hub sets out the whole tournament, while this page focuses on the quarter-final round.
Knockout demand is a different animal to the group stage. A single-elimination tie with a marquee nation sells through fast, and the best categories go first. A resale marketplace gives you a route in when a match has already cleared its own channels.
Four ties, four venues, three days. The round opens in Boston and closes with a Saturday double-header in Miami and Kansas City, so a fan following one nation may have a single date to plan around while a neutral can take in several.
| Match | Fixture | Venue | Date |
|---|---|---|---|
| Quarter-final 1 | France vs Morocco | Gillette Stadium, Boston | Thursday 9 July 2026 |
| Quarter-final 2 | Spain vs Belgium | SoFi Stadium, Los Angeles | Friday 10 July 2026 |
| Quarter-final 3 | Norway vs England | Hard Rock Stadium, Miami | Saturday 11 July 2026 |
| Quarter-final 4 | Argentina vs Switzerland | Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas City | Saturday 11 July 2026 |
Each tie is settled on the day, so if the scores are level after 90 minutes the match goes to extra time and, if needed, a penalty shoot-out. There are no replays at this stage.
The last eight blend heavyweight contenders with sides chasing a first deep run. Compare listings and follow each nation through their team page:
Pricing is not random. Five factors do most of the work: the tie and the nations involved, the venue, the seating category, the demand that comes with single-elimination football and whether the ticket adds hospitality. A tie featuring a heavyweight nation behaves very differently from a lower-profile pairing.
Because each match sells across several categories at once, direct comparison is the sharpest tool a buyer has. The table below shows how the common ticket types tend to sit against one another. Exact figures shift by fixture, category and how late in the cycle you are buying.
| Ticket Type | Relative Price Position | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Category 4 | Lower entry point | Budget-conscious fans | The lowest tier, often behind the goals |
| Category 3 | Mid | Value seats away from the centre | A fair view at a lower price |
| Category 2 | Upper | A strong side view of the pitch | Popular with travelling support |
| Category 1 | Upper | The clearest view of the full pitch | Prime central seats along the halfway line |
| Hospitality | Highest | A hosted matchday with food and drink | Limited stock, tends to hold value late |
Prices reflect typical resale positions and may change as demand and availability shift closer to kick-off.
Matches are sold in numbered categories, with Category 1 covering the prime central seats and higher numbers moving towards the corners and the ends. The category on a listing tells you roughly where you will sit and what you are paying for the view. Reading it before you buy avoids an avoidable surprise at the turnstile.
| Ticket Option | What It Covers | Main Appeal |
|---|---|---|
| Category 1 | Prime central seats along the halfway line | The clearest view of the full pitch |
| Category 2 | Side seats away from the exact centre | A strong view at a lower price than Category 1 |
| Category 3 | Seats towards the corners of the ground | A fair balance of view and value |
| Category 4 | The lowest tier, often behind the goals | The lowest outlay to be inside the stadium |
| Hospitality | Hosted areas with food, drink and premium seats | The most comfortable way to attend a knockout tie |
The round is spread across four of the tournament's biggest grounds. Gillette Stadium near Boston opens the round, SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles hosts the second tie and the Saturday double-header runs at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami and Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City. Each is a large, modern venue used to major events.
Because the ties are hundreds of miles apart, planning around a single city helps if you are travelling. Browsing by ground through venue tickets lets you build a trip around the stadium and tie you most want to see.
Tournament tickets reach buyers in a few different ways, and the method affects how close to the match you receive them. Most knockout tickets run on mobile delivery, while some are issued closer to the date. Always read the delivery note on the listing before you buy.
| Delivery Type | What to Check |
|---|---|
| Mobile / e-ticket | Confirm the transfer method and keep your phone charged for scanning at the gate |
| Physical ticket | Check the dispatch window, some issue only in the final days before the match |
| Print-at-home | Confirm you can print or store the barcode before you travel |
| Box office collection | Bring valid photo ID matching the collection details in the listing |
Whatever the format, read the listing notes in full, carry a valid photo ID and arrive early, since knockout matches draw big crowds and tight security checks.

Winning a quarter-final books a place in the last four. The four victors advance to the semi-finals, and the two sides that come through those meet in the final at MetLife Stadium near New York later in July.
If you want to plan beyond this round, the semi-final tickets and World Cup final tickets pages cover the closing stages, where demand and prices climb to their peak.
Travelling to the United States for a knockout tie takes planning, and delivery is the first thing to sort. Mobile and e-ticket listings suit international buyers best because they do not depend on a postal address, while physical tickets need a dispatch window that lines up with your arrival. Confirm the method on the listing before you book flights around it.
Distance and timing are the other considerations. The host cities sit far apart, so if you are following one nation, build the trip around the city hosting their tie, and check the kick-off time against local travel. A little flexibility protects a trip built around a knockout match that only exists once the previous round is played.
Yes. Every order is covered by a 150% money-back guarantee, and sellers are verified before their listings go live.
The last eight are France, Morocco, Spain, Belgium, Norway, England, Argentina and Switzerland. They meet across four ties over three days in July.

The ties are France vs Morocco, Spain vs Belgium, Norway vs England and Argentina vs Switzerland. Each winner advances to the semi-finals.
Matches are sold in numbered categories from Category 1 for prime central seats down to Category 4 for the lowest tier, with hospitality above them. The category sets your position and price.
Knockout ties are settled on the day. If the score is level after 90 minutes the match goes to extra time and, if still level, a penalty shoot-out decides who advances.
Category 1 seats along the halfway line give the clearest view of the full pitch. Seats behind the goals sit closer to the action at one end and often carry a stronger atmosphere at a lower price.
Only hospitality listings include catering and hosted areas. A standard category ticket admits you to the match, so check the listing if a hosted package is what you are after.
Most tournament tickets are delivered as mobile or e-tickets, with some physical and print-at-home options. The method is stated on each listing.
Buying multiple tickets from a single listing gives the best chance of sitting together. Larger groups may need to split across two adjacent listings in the same category.
Yes. Mobile and e-ticket listings suit international buyers best because delivery does not rely on a postal address, which matters for a tournament drawing fans worldwide.
Kick-off times are set in local United States time and vary by match across the afternoon and evening. Check the exact start time on your listing and against your travel plans.
Knockout prices can move sharply once a tie is confirmed and the date nears. Watching listings across the round helps you buy when a fair price and category line up.
