Buy Iran World Cup 2026 tickets on 1BoxOffice and compare verified Group G listings for Iran vs New Zealand, Belgium vs Iran and Egypt vs Iran before choosing your preferred venue, category and delivery option. Team Melli are at their seventh World Cup and fourth successive finals, drawn with Belgium, Egypt and New Zealand across two US West Coast venues. Amir Ghalenoei’s side opens at SoFi Stadium on 15 June, returns to Inglewood for Belgium on 21 June, and then closes the group at Lumen Field in Seattle on 26 June. The football reality is competitive but not impossible; advancing would be an Iranian World Cup first.

Ghalenoei is in his second spell as head coach. Under him, Team Melli lost just one of sixteen matches across the AFC qualifying campaign and confirmed their place at the tournament with a 2-2 home draw against Uzbekistan on 25 March 2025.

Iran's group programme is among the more compact at the tournament. Two matches at SoFi Stadium in greater Los Angeles, followed by a single trip up the Pacific coast to Seattle. Same time zone for all three. Each fixture below links to its own listings page, where stand, block and row details are visible before checkout.
| Date | Match | Kick-off (local) | Venue | City | Match number |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 15 June 2026 | Iran vs New Zealand | 18:00 | SoFi Stadium | Inglewood | Match 15 |
| 21 June 2026 | Belgium vs Iran | 12:00 | SoFi Stadium | Inglewood | Match 39 |
| 26 June 2026 | Egypt vs Iran | 20:00 | Lumen Field | Seattle | Match 63 |
The Inglewood SoFi Stadium has a translucent roof canopy that filters direct sun and keeps the bowl temperate even at midday kick-offs. Lumen Field in Seattle is an open-air venue with a partial roof structure, with cooler late-June evenings than the LA fixtures and a higher rainfall probability worth factoring into matchday plans.
The draw could have been worse. Belgium are the recognised seeded threat, ranking as one of the strongest European teams to come out of pot two. Egypt arrive with Mohamed Salah, and a long World Cup wait. New Zealand are a team Iran ought to beat. The path to advancing rests on managing the Belgium fixture and converting the matches against the other two.
The All Whites won OFC qualifying with five wins from five and have not lost a competitive match against an AFC opponent in over five years. New Zealand World Cup 2026 tickets open Iran's tournament on 15 June. Manager Darren Bazeley relies on a settled Premier League and Championship pool led by captain Chris Wood, the Nottingham Forest centre-forward who turns 35 during the tournament. The team's identity is defensive organisation and set pieces; against Iran's possession-heavy structure, expect a match shaped by transition moments and second-phase opportunities.
The Red Devils are at their fourth consecutive World Cup, with the famous 2018 golden generation now mostly retired or fringe. Belgium World Cup 2026 tickets represent the toughest test of Iran's group on 21 June. Kevin De Bruyne remains the central reference at 34, Jeremy Doku and Romelu Lukaku provide pace and physicality respectively, and Charles De Ketelaere has matured into a creative number ten. Coach Rudi Garcia has been clear in interviews about a quarter-final ceiling. Iran will need a smart defensive performance and at least one clinical moment to take a result.
The Pharaohs are at their fourth World Cup and their first since 2018, with Hossam Hassan now manager and Mohamed Salah at 33 in his only realistic knockout shot. Egypt World Cup 2026 tickets close Iran's group on 26 June at Lumen Field. The tactical pattern from qualifying centred on Salah cutting in from the right and Mostafa Mohamed running the channels. Iran-Egypt is one of the more discussed group-stage matchups of the tournament for its blend of MENA-region history and the bracket implications: a result here likely decides which of the two advances if Belgium top the group.
Two fixtures at SoFi Stadium in greater Los Angeles, one at Lumen Field in Seattle. Both are signature American stadiums of the past two decades, and both deliver acoustic environments that suit football. The third venue trip is a 950-mile flight up the Pacific coast.
SoFi Stadium opened in 2020 and seats around 70,000 across a clean two-tier bowl with an oversized translucent ETFE-roof canopy that filters daylight without the venue being a closed stadium. The bowl is sunken into the ground, which means the lower-tier seats are below grade and the upper-tier views remain unusually close to the field for a venue of this size.
Reach the stadium via LA Metro’s World Cup enhanced direct service, which is scheduled to bring fans to Los Angeles Stadium up to three hours before kick-off and run departures after the match. Paid parking, rideshare zones and shuttle routes should be checked close to matchday. Pre-match, the Hollywood Park entertainment district immediately around the stadium offers chain restaurants and bars, while downtown Inglewood and the Crenshaw corridor offer more local options. Greater Los Angeles in mid-June is mild by California-coast standards, with marine-layer mornings clearing to bright afternoons in the low-to-mid twenties Celsius.
Lumen Field, home of the NFL's Seattle Seahawks and MLS's Seattle Sounders, seats 69,000 across a horseshoe-shaped open-air bowl with a partial cantilevered roof over the upper tiers. The stadium has earned a long-standing reputation for crowd noise during American football matches, and the same acoustic characteristic carries over to football. Sightlines from the lower bowl are strong; the steep upper tier offers tactical-eye views of the entire pitch. Reach the stadium via the Sound Transit Link Light Rail (Stadium station, walking distance) or by SoundTransit's Sounder commuter rail from the south on matchdays. Pre-match, Pioneer Square and the International District offer the bar density immediately west and south of the stadium; downtown Seattle and the Pike Place Market sit a 15-minute walk north. Late-June Seattle averages high teens Celsius with light rainfall probability into the evening; the partial roof helps.
The tournament category system runs from Cat 4 (most accessible price, typically upper tier behind a goal) through Cat 1 (lower tier centre line), with Hospitality bookings sitting above all four numbered tiers. Pricing on the secondary market is seller-dynamic and changes with demand patterns. Indicative ranges below reflect that the Belgium match draws materially higher demand than the New Zealand and Egypt fixtures.
| Category | Location | Typical features | Expected range for Iran group matches |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hospitality | Premium club, suite or in-stadium lounge | Pre-match dining, padded seating, dedicated entrance, host service | From approximately GBP 1,500 per person, higher for Belgium fixture |
| Cat 1 | Lower tier, side-on centre line | Closest to halfway, premium sightlines, fastest-selling band | Approximately GBP 500 to GBP 1,200 |
| Cat 2 | Lower tier wider, mid-tier centre | Strong viewing angles, balance of price and proximity | Approximately GBP 300 to GBP 650 |
| Cat 3 | Mid-tier corners, upper tier centre line | Wider tactical view, value-friendly pricing | Approximately GBP 180 to GBP 420 |
| Cat 4 | Upper tier behind the goal | Most accessible price, atmospheric sections | Approximately GBP 120 to GBP 260 |
SoFi Stadium operates several premium products, including the Verizon Up Field Club at field level, Suites along both sidelines and a network of premium loge seating. The Inglewood stadium's premium hospitality is among the more advanced products in any US sports venue. Lumen Field offers the Toyota Club, Verizon Wireless Club Suites and the Pacific Northwest Ballroom for tournament-only matchday packages. Hospitality at the Belgium fixture in Inglewood draws the most demand of the three; book early or expect tightening availability in the final fortnight.
