Round of 32: England vs DR Congo Tickets (1 July, Atlanta)

England's first knockout game is against DR Congo on Wednesday 1 July at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. Kick-off is at 5pm BST (10am local). Resale tickets are currently starting from £425, with an average price of £1,352 — by some distance the most affordable game in England's entire knockout run.

With 9,157 tickets currently listed on SeatPick, supply is good and there is still time to secure a seat at a reasonable price before demand picks up.

Round of 16: England vs Mexico Tickets (5 July, Mexico City)

Beat DR Congo and England head to Mexico City for a last-16 tie, most likely against Mexico. The game is scheduled for 5 July at the Estadio Azteca and kicks off at 1am BST. This is where the price jump becomes dramatic.

Resale tickets for this fixture slot are currently starting from £1,660, with an average of £4,422 — nearly four times the R32 starting price. Mexico won all three group games, including a 3-0 demolition of Czech Republic, and will have the full weight of a host nation crowd at the world's most famous football stadium behind them. Altitude, atmosphere and 87,000 fans. Round of 16 tickets at this fixture slot are already the second most expensive of any last-16 tie at the tournament.

If Ecuador cause an upset and beat Mexico, England face them instead — but the Azteca pricing does not change. The venue drives the cost as much as the opposition.

Quarter-Final: England vs Brazil Tickets (11 July, Miami)

Win in Mexico City and England travel to Miami's Hard Rock Stadium for a quarter-final on 11 July at 10pm BST. Brazil are the most likely opponents, having won Group C with Japan the probable R32 opponent. This fixture slot is currently the most expensive quarter-final in the draw.

Quarter-final tickets for this Miami slot start from £1,939, with an average of £5,192. England vs Brazil would be their first World Cup meeting since the 2002 quarter-final, when Ronaldinho's famous free-kick ended England's run. Demand for a rematch of that fixture would be extraordinary, and prices will reflect it the moment England and Brazil are both confirmed.

Semi-Final: England vs Argentina Tickets (15 July, Atlanta)

England's projected semi-final brings them back to Atlanta on 15 July at 8pm BST. Argentina are the most likely opponents after topping Group J — they will face Cape Verde in the R32 — and a World Cup semi-final between England and Argentina would be one of the most anticipated matches in the history of the game.

Semi-final tickets for this Atlanta slot start from £2,382, with an average of £5,650 and 9,005 listings currently available. England vs Argentina tickets will spike the moment both nations are confirmed in the tie. Buying a neutral semi-final ticket now, before the line-up is set, remains the best way to secure a seat at a manageable price.

World Cup Final: England Tickets (19 July, New Jersey)

The 2026 World Cup final takes place on Sunday 19 July at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. If England make it, Spain are the most likely opponents from the other side of the draw. La Roja beat England in the Euro 2024 final, and a World Cup final rematch would be one of the most-watched England sporting events in recent memory.

World Cup 2026 final tickets are currently starting from £6,224 on SeatPick, with an average price of £11,354 and 9,248 listings across the market. For fans who want to be at the final regardless of who plays, England vs Spain neutral tickets bought now will represent better value than anything available once the two finalists are confirmed.
