Canadians eager to attend the 2026 FIFA World Cup can now get their hands on tickets — but only if they’re willing to pay a premium. FIFA’s official hospitality partner, On Location, has launched its first wave of deluxe packages, starting at $2,500 for a single match and scaling up to ultra-luxury experiences that promise once-in-a-lifetime memories.
These high-end packages include more than just game tickets. Guests gain access to premium lounges with all-you-can-eat and drink menus, curated experiences, and exclusive entertainment. Options range from basic Pavilion access to elite Pitchside Lounge seating at $5,350 per person. For those with deeper pockets, private suites and bespoke VIP experiences are available, with On Location offering everything from helicopter rides to post-match penalty kicks against pro goalkeepers.
Leah Linke, senior vice-president of event production at On Location, described the offerings not just as seats, but as fully immersive experiences designed to create lasting memories. “We are not selling tickets. We are selling experiences of a lifetime,” she said, adding that her team is working with Michelin-starred chefs and top-tier mixologists to elevate the fan journey.
While these elite packages roll out across Canada and Mexico, more affordable ticket access is on the way. Canada Soccer is expected to relaunch its Canada Red membership program later this month, offering fans a chance to enter ticket lotteries. The higher the membership tier, the better the odds of securing a seat. FIFA’s global ticket lottery program will also begin in the fall.
The 2026 World Cup will feature an expanded 48-team format across 104 games. Canada will host 13 matches, with the national team opening June 12 in Toronto before playing group matches on June 18 and 24 in Vancouver. If Canada tops its group, it could stay in Vancouver through the Round of 16.
On Location, which was acquired by Endeavor Group Holdings for $660 million in 2020, has previously provided hospitality services for the Super Bowl, Olympics, and other major sports events. With World Cup packages already selling fast in the U.S., Canadian fans are being urged to act quickly if they want front-row access to the biggest tournament in soccer.
