UEFA Euro Tickets

Demand for the 2028 Euros will be unlike any previous edition. Four host nations means four home crowds chasing seats, and the short travel distances put every fixture within reach of supporters from across Europe. UEFA's ticket ballot for Euro 2024 in Germany was heavily oversubscribed, and a home tournament for England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland will tighten supply further. 1BoxOffice lists UEFA Euro 2028 tickets for group stage, knockout and final fixtures as they become available, each backed by a 150% money-back guarantee.

Euro 2028 Schedule, Key Dates and Format

UEFA confirmed the full Euro 2028 schedule on 12 November 2025. The opening match takes place at the National Stadium of Wales in Cardiff on Friday 9 June 2028, with the final at Wembley Stadium on Sunday 9 July 2028. Both semi-finals are also at Wembley, on 4 and 5 July, while the four quarter-finals are split between Cardiff, Dublin, Glasgow and Wembley.

The format follows the structure used since 2016. The 24 qualified teams are drawn into six groups of four. The top two in each group progress to the round of 16 alongside the four best third-placed sides, and from there it is straight knockout with no third-place match. Eight of the nine host stadiums stage a round of 16 tie, with Wembley the only exception, held back for the closing week.

Kick-off times of 14:00, 17:00 and 20:00 local time will be assigned to individual Euro 2028 fixtures after the final draw, which takes place in late 2027 once qualifying concludes.

Euro 2028 Stadiums and Host Cities

The Euro 2028 stadiums span eight host cities, and each venue hosts matches from at least two different groups so local fans see a variety of teams. Anfield missed out because its pitch dimensions fall short of UEFA requirements, while Old Trafford was ruled out amid Manchester United's stadium redevelopment plans.

London carries the heaviest load. Wembley Stadium hosts four group games, a quarter-final, both semi-finals and the final, so the capital will dominate the closing week of the tournament. Across north London, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium brings one of Europe's most modern grounds to the group stage and round of 16, with its steep single-tier South Stand the pick for atmosphere.

Manchester's matches take place at the Etihad Stadium, where England are scheduled to open their campaign if they qualify as Group B heads. Newcastle's St James' Park, a EURO '96 venue famed for its noise, stages four group games and a round of 16 tie. Birmingham's Villa Park, which has staged more FA Cup semi-finals than any other ground, completes the English club venues. Detailed seat-by-seat guidance for each of these grounds sits in the stadium and seating map links at the end of this page.

Everton Stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock is the newest venue of the nine, having staged its first Premier League match in August 2025. Hampden Park gives Glasgow its second European Championship after hosting Euro 2020 fixtures, and the Dublin Arena hands the Republic of Ireland its first matches at a European Championship final tournament on home soil.

Where England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland Will Play at Euros 2028

Each host nation has a reserved group position with pre-selected venues, provided they qualify directly. Wales hold slot A1, which puts them in the Cardiff opener on 9 June. England occupy B1, opening in Manchester before playing their remaining two group matches at Wembley. Scotland take F1 and would play all three group games at Hampden Park, while the Republic of Ireland hold E1 with all three group fixtures at the Dublin Arena.

The knockout routes reward group winners with home comfort. Should England top Group B, their round of 16 tie is at St James' Park before any later rounds return to Wembley. Group winners from the Wales, Scotland and Ireland groups would play their round of 16 matches at their group-stage venues. Expect fixtures involving any host nation to be among the fastest sellers of the entire tournament, particularly the Cardiff opener and every England match in London.

Northern Ireland were part of the original five-association bid, but the redevelopment of Casement Park in Belfast was dropped in September 2024 after costs rose beyond £400 million, so no matches will be played in Northern Ireland. The team can still qualify on merit and holds a reserved group position (D1) if it does.

Euro 2028 Qualifying: Who Will Be There

None of the four host nations receives automatic qualification. All enter qualifying alongside the rest of Europe, drawn into separate groups so hosts cannot meet each other. Up to two places are reserved for host nations that fail to qualify directly, with the exact play-off format depending on how many of those reserved slots are needed.

The qualifying group stage draw takes place on 6 December 2026 in Belfast. Twelve groups of four or five teams then play home and away between March and November 2027. Each group winner qualifies automatically along with the eight best-ranked runners-up, and the remaining places are settled through play-offs in March 2028 involving the leftover runners-up and the best-performing sides from the UEFA Nations League. That gives a strong 2026/27 Nations League campaign real value as an insurance route into the finals.

Euro 2028 Ticket Prices

UEFA has not yet published face-value pricing for Euro 2028, but the Euro 2024 structure is the clearest guide to what is coming. In Germany, face values ran from around €30 for the lowest group-stage category up to €1,000 for the top category at the final. A UK and Ireland tournament, with four home crowds and stronger local purchasing power, is unlikely to come in below those levels.

Five factors drive what you will actually pay on the resale market: the stage of the tournament, the teams involved, the stadium and seating category, whether a host nation is playing and how close to kick-off you buy. Host-nation fixtures, the Cardiff opener and the entire Wembley closing week will carry the largest premiums.

Prices reflect typical patterns from previous tournaments and may change as demand and availability shift once the draw is made and fixtures are confirmed.

Can You Buy Euro 2028 Tickets Without a UEFA Ballot?

Yes. UEFA sells tournament tickets through its own sales phases, typically via a ballot on its website after the final draw, and applications for recent tournaments have far outstripped supply. Millions of fans applied for Euro 2024 tickets and most came away with nothing, particularly for knockout fixtures and any match involving a well-supported nation. Success in the ballot is a lottery, and it ties you to specific matches long before you know who is playing in them.

A secondary marketplace solves both problems. On 1BoxOffice you choose the exact fixture, stage and seating area you want, without entering a ballot, holding a members' account or waiting on an allocation email. Every order carries a 150% money-back guarantee, so if confirmed tickets fail to arrive you receive more than you paid. That certainty matters most for the Euro tickets the ballot is least likely to deliver: host-nation games, quarter-finals onwards and anything at Wembley in July.

How to Buy Euro 2028 Tickets on 1BoxOffice

Ordering takes a few minutes once listings for your fixture are live:

Delivery method depends on what UEFA issues for the tournament. Euro 2024 used mobile tickets through UEFA's app, and Euro 2028 is expected to follow a digital-first model. Your order page will state the delivery format for your fixture, and tickets arrive in time for kick-off whichever method applies.

Euro 2028 Hospitality and VIP Tickets

Hospitality is the one route that combines guaranteed seating with a premium matchday, and at a home tournament it will be in serious corporate demand from the moment packages are released. Expect lounge access, dining, premium seating positions on the halfway line or in club-level tiers, and dedicated entrances at each of the nine stadiums. Wembley's club level and the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium's premium tiers are among the strongest hospitality products in European football, and both will anchor the tournament's VIP offer.

1BoxOffice lists hospitality and VIP options alongside standard categories where available. For the semi-finals and the Euro final, hospitality tickets are often the last route left once general categories sell through, so buyers targeting the Wembley closing week should move early rather than waiting for late availability that may never come.

Spain's Defence and the Chasing Pack

Euro 2028 opens with Spain defending the title they won in Berlin in 2024, when they beat England 2-1 to claim a record fourth European Championship. Only Spain have ever retained the trophy, winning in 2008 and 2012, and La Roja will start among the favourites to repeat the feat.

France and Germany remain the most consistent challengers, with Germany's three titles second only to Spain's four. Portugal, champions in 2016, and Italy, winners at Wembley in 2021, both know how to peak in this competition. Then there is England. Runners-up at each of the last two Euros, playing a home tournament with their knockout route running through Newcastle and Wembley, they will face the heaviest expectation of any side in the field. Every England fixture will be a sell-out long before kick-off.

European Championship Roll of Honour

The tournament has crowned ten different champions since 1960, and its history explains why final tickets are the hardest to source in international football.

International Football Before Euro 2028

Two years is a long wait, and there is plenty of elite international football first. The Football World Cup runs across North America through July 2026, the Euro 2028 qualifiers fill 2027 and the winners of the Euro and Copa América meet in the Finalissima. National sides also fill the calendar with warm-up matches, and international friendly fixtures at the Euro 2028 host stadiums offer a lower-priced way to see those grounds before the tournament arrives.
