The quarter-finals are the last eight of the 2026 World Cup, the round where the field of 48 has narrowed to the eight sides still standing. World Cup 2026 quarter-final tickets cover all four ties, played from 9 July to 11 July across four host venues in the United States. By this stage, every team left is a genuine contender, the margins are razor-thin, and a single result is the difference between a semi-final and a flight home.

These four ties are fed by the Round of 16 winners, so only the strongest survivors remain. The bracket is fixed in advance, even though the teams are not, which means you can secure a seat at a specific quarter-final before the two sides are confirmed. That point is covered in full below, alongside the schedule, prices and how to buy through the World Cup 2026 marketplace.
1BoxOffice has operated as a verified ticket marketplace since 2006, with a 150% money-back guarantee and English and Arabic customer support. Quarter-final inventory is among the tightest of the tournament outside the final week, so a seat is worth locking early while category and position are still open.
The quarter-finals take the eight teams that came through the group stage, the Round of 32 and the Round of 16. Those eight play four single-elimination ties, and the four winners advance to the semi-finals.
There are no draws. If the scores are level after 90 minutes, the match goes to extra time, then to a penalty shoot-out if still level. Each quarter-final slot is defined by the two Round of 16 matches that feed it, for example, the winner of Match 89 against the winner of Match 90. The round runs across three days, with one or two matches each day, and it sets the semi-final line-up from 14 July.
Because the bracket positions are fixed, the slots are listed and on sale now. A slot resolves into a named fixture as the Round of 16 results come in, which are completed on 7 July, two days before the quarter-finals begin.

| Match | Fixture | Venue | Date |
|---|---|---|---|
| Match 97 | Match 89 winner vs Match 90 winner | Gillette Stadium, Boston | 9 July |
| Match 98 | Match 93 winner vs Match 94 winner | SoFi Stadium, Los Angeles | 10 July |
| Match 99 | Match 91 winner vs Match 92 winner | Hard Rock Stadium, Miami | 11 July |
| Match 100 | Match 95 winner vs Match 96 winner | Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas City | 11 July |
This is the question that holds most buyers back, so it is worth being plain about. A quarter-final ticket is tied to a match slot, which means a fixed date, a fixed venue and a fixed bracket position, not to two named teams. When you buy Match 99 at the Hard Rock Stadium, you are buying the seat for whoever wins the two Round of 16 ties that feed it.
The teams are confirmed as the Round of 16 plays out, finishing on 7 July, two days before this round starts. Until then, the matchup shows as a bracket position. Your ticket is valid for that slot regardless of which sides come through, so the seat is secure even though the names are not yet printed. The trade-off is the one buyers weigh all through the knockouts. Buy early, and you fix venue, date and category while choice is widest, but you do not yet know the teams. Wait, and the names get clearer, but quarter-final inventory is thin, and prices climb hard at this depth.
For buyers chasing a specific nation, the route is to follow that team's path through the bracket. The schedule table above shows which Round of 16 winners feed each quarter-final, so you can work back from the slot to the side you want to follow.
By the last eight, every tie is a heavyweight occasion, so demand is high across all four. The venues shape the rest. Match 99 at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami and Match 98 at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles sit in two of the strongest ticket markets in the country, and both tend to attract the largest international followings.
Match 97 at Gillette Stadium near Boston opens the round and carries the draw of being the first quarter-final on the board. Match 100 at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City can offer slightly better value, since it sits in a smaller market than the coastal venues, though the calibre of football is identical. With only contenders left, none of these is a soft ticket, and all four firm up quickly once the Round of 16 confirms who is through.
Quarter-final seats sit well above the earlier rounds. Five factors set the figure on any slot: the venue, the seating category, the strength of the bracket positions feeding it, how close the match sits to kick-off, and the size of the travelling supports involved. Primary-sale quarter-final face values were structured sharply higher than the Round of 16, and the resale market reflects that, with Category 1 at the coastal venues at the top of the range.
| Category | Typical location | Approx resale range (GBP) | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Category 4 | Upper corners and upper tier behind the goals | From approximately £320 | Reaching a quarter-final on the lowest budget |
| Category 3 | Upper tier longside and lower behind the goals | Approximately £420 to £950 | A clear view at mid-range cost |
| Category 2 | Lower tier wide and upper tier central | Approximately £850 to £2,400 | Balancing position against price |
| Category 1 | Lower tier central, around the halfway line | Approximately £1,600 to £5,000 plus | The best sightlines for a last-eight occasion |
| Hospitality | Premium lounges, suites and club seats | From approximately £3,000 | Catering, lounge access and a guaranteed premium seat |
These brackets span all four ties. Prices are aggregated from secondary-market listings and shift with demand, and they tend to firm up sharply as the Round of 16 results confirm the teams. The figure on each match page is the one that applies.
No membership is needed to attend a knockout match. The primary-sale routes were the random selection draws, the team and supporter packages sold through national associations, and the host-city release windows run by the tournament organisers. Those windows released seats in batches, with a last-minute sales section handling the remainder closer to kick-off.
This deep in the tournament, those routes are at their tightest, because supporter allocations depend on a team still being in contention and are released only days before. That leaves the resale market as the practical way to fix a quarter-final seat in advance. Buying through a verified marketplace means the listing is checked, the seat is confirmed, and the order is protected, rather than relying on a private transfer with no recourse.
1BoxOffice has sold live event tickets since 2006, with a 150% money-back guarantee and English and Arabic support. Buying a quarter-final slot takes eight steps.
Step1
Choose your match slot
Use the schedule above or the fixture list to pick a quarter-final slot by venue and date. Each slot has its own page with live listings.
Step2
Compare categories
Review the seating categories and prices that match. The page shows where each block sits and the current floor for the slot.
Step3
Select your seats
Pick the quantity and listing that fit your budget and position. Filter for seats together if your party needs them, as quarter-final blocks are scarce.
Step4
Review the order
Check the match, date, venue and category before you proceed. Remember, the seat is tied to the slot, valid for whichever teams qualify for it.
Step5
Create an account
You can create an account to track the purchase and receive delivery updates as the teams are confirmed.
Step6
Pay securely
Complete checkout with card, Apple Pay or Google Pay over an encrypted connection. Your details are not shared with third-party vendors.

Step8
Track your order
Follow progress through the track order page, and reach support in English or Arabic if you have a question.
Quarter-final tickets are delivered in a few formats depending on the seller and the venue. The tournament has leaned heavily on mobile delivery through its app, so most buyers should expect a mobile ticket, often issued once the teams are confirmed.
| Delivery type | What to check |
|---|---|
| Mobile transfer | That you can install the required app and sign in before matchday, and that your phone is charged on the day |
| E-ticket PDF | That the PDF opens and the QR code is clear, with a backup saved offline |
| Hospitality wristband or pass | The collection point, the time window and any dress code for the lounge |
| Will-call collection | The collection location, the ID required and how early the desk opens |
Bring photo ID that matches the booking, arrive early for security, and check the venue bag policy in advance. Quarter-final crowds are among the largest of the tournament, and queues build well before kick-off.
All four quarter-finals are in the United States, so most non-citizens need entry clearance: travellers from visa-waiver countries need an approved ESTA, while others need a B-1 or B-2 visitor visa, which should be applied for well ahead of time. Because the teams are unknown until the Round of 16 finishes on 7 July, the safe approach is to plan travel around the host city rather than a nation.
The four venues sit in Boston, Los Angeles, Miami and Kansas City, so a quarter-final trip means picking a city and a date first. Keep accommodation refundable until your seats are confirmed and delivered, and build flexibility into return dates, since the team you want to follow could advance into a semi-final in Dallas or Atlanta.
The four winners carry into the Semi-final tickets on 14 and 15 July, in Dallas and Atlanta, then to the Final tickets at MetLife Stadium on 19 July, where prices reach their tournament peak. Many fans pair a quarter-final slot with a later-round match to follow a team's run as deep as it goes.
The quarter-finals are the last eight of the 2026 World Cup, the third knockout round. The eight teams that came through the Round of 16 play four single-elimination ties. The four winners advance to the semi-finals, and the losers are out. The round runs from 9 July to 11 July.
The quarter-finals run across three days, from Thursday 9 July to Saturday 11 July 2026, with one or two matches each day. The semi-finals then fall on 14 and 15 July, and the tournament ends with the final on 19 July at MetLife Stadium.
The eight teams come through the Round of 16. Each quarter-final is fed by two Round of 16 matches, so a slot reads as the winner of one match against the winner of another. That structure is fixed in advance, which is why the slots are known and on sale before the teams are confirmed.
Yes. A quarter-final ticket is tied to a match slot, meaning a fixed date, venue and bracket position, not to two named teams. You buy the seat for whoever wins the two rounds of 16 ties that feed it. Your ticket stays valid for that slot regardless of which sides come through.
The teams are confirmed as the Round of 16 plays out, which finishes on 7 July, two days before the quarter-finals begin. Your slot resolves into a named fixture at that point, and the same seat applies. You then receive delivery details for the confirmed match.
Quarter-final prices sit well above the earlier rounds. Value categories on the lower-demand slots are listed from around £320, while Category 1 seats reach £5,000 or more at the coastal venues. Hospitality starts from around £3,000. The figure on each match page is the live floor for that specific slot.
Seats are sold across four categories plus hospitality. Category 1 is the most central, usually a lower-tier near the halfway line. Category 2 covers the wider lower tier and central upper tier. Category 3 is the upper-tier longside and lower behind the goals. Category 4 is the upper corners and is the lowest-priced option.
All four are heavyweight occasions, so demand is high across the round. The Miami tie, Match 99, and the Los Angeles tie, Match 98, sit in the strongest ticket markets and draw the largest international followings. The Boston tie opens the round, and the Kansas City tie can offer slightly better value in a smaller market.
There are no draws in the knockouts. If the scores are level after 90 minutes, the match goes to 30 minutes of extra time. If it is still level, it is decided by a penalty shoot-out. Your ticket covers the full match, including extra time and penalties, so there is nothing extra to buy on the day.
Most knockout seats are delivered to mobile, with the tournament leaning on app-based delivery, often once the teams are confirmed. Some listings arrive as an e-ticket PDF, hospitality as a wristband or pass and a few via will-call collection. Install any required app and sign in before matchday, and keep a charged phone with you.
All four quarter-finals are in the United States, so most non-citizens need entry clearance. Travellers from visa-waiver countries need an approved ESTA, while others need a B-1 or B-2 visitor visa, which should be applied for early. The venues are in Boston, Los Angeles, Miami and Kansas City, so plan travel around the city.
It means that if valid tickets are not delivered in time for the match, or the order cannot be honoured, you are covered beyond a standard refund. Every quarter-final order on 1BoxOffice carries this guarantee, alongside encrypted checkout and English and Arabic support. It is the protection that separates a verified marketplace from a private transfer.
