FIFA World Cup 2026 official ticket application for England Supporters Travel Club

You should soon receive your access code via the email address associated with your England Supporters Travel Club membership.

Please check your junk and spam folders if you cannot see the email with your access code in your main inbox.

If you have not received your access code by 9pm on Monday 15 December, please email ESTC@TheFA.com with the subject ‘FWC26 Access Code’.

When landing on FIFA's site, if you already have an account it may automatically send you a verification code and ask you to submit this code into a 'sign in code' box. 

The email will come with the subject line 'FIFA ID Validate Your Email' from noreply@fifa.com.  Please ensure you use the code supplied in the email from FIFA and do not enter your access code at this point.

Important Application Information

Before you start your application, please read the following:

- The official application window is now open and will remain open until Tuesday 13 January 2026. 

- A full guide on how to apply for tickets via the ESTC’s allocation can be found at the bottom of this article.  This guide will help to understand the process and ensure you apply via the correct avenues.  We strongly suggest reviewing this before you start your application.

- Sign in or create an account with FIFA and ensure that your email address is the same as the one you have associated with your ESTC membership.

- Your access code is linked specifically to your ESTC membership FAN Number.  This access code cannot be passed on or used by anyone other than yourself, doing so may lead to your application being cancelled.

- If you are planning to apply and link applications - one member of your group will need to apply first and wait for their ticket application number to be sent from FIFA.

- After submission you will not be able to 'edit' or 'modify' your application.  If you wish to make any changes you will be required to first cancel your application and then submit a new one.  If you choose to do this, your access code will re-activate, meaning you can apply with your original access code.

- After submission you will see the copy 'random selection draw'.  This is just FIFA's default text.  If you have followed the guidance correctly you will be entered into the ESTC ballot.

- We do not anticipate members being able to resell tickets that are purchased in the official ESTC section. However, we are working with FIFA to achieve a member-to-member resale option similar to what was available to members during the UEFA EURO 2024 Tournament in Germany

- U18’s will be unable to apply without a member who is above the age of 18.  If you are planning to apply, and have not received specific information on this yet, please email ESTC@TheFA.com with the subject ‘FWC26 Application with U18 member’.

- If you are applying for a Wheelchair or Easy Access/Accessible ticket, you will find your category of tickets by following the application guide. 

- FIFA will only allow you to have 4 tickets against your name, per game, in this application phase, meaning that applying for more than three tickets for a single match in the public/random FIFA draw will lead to potential ticket cancellations in both applications.

- The initial match-by-match application guidance can be found here.  We suggest you follow this guidance in the first instance to maximise your chances of getting the tickets/categories you want.  Allocations and ticket prices can be found here.

- We are asking all members who wish to apply to do so by 11.59 on Sunday 21 December.  After this date, we will receive the application data from FIFA.  We will use this data to offer members final guidance on their application.

It is important to note that if you are unable to complete the application by Sunday 21 December that you will not be penalised.  However, the more members who complete the application before this date, the more accurate guidance we will be able to offer for adjusting applications before the final deadline on Tuesday 13 January 2026.

- The official application phase will close on Tuesday 13 January 2026.  We expect members to receive the ballot results by the end of January.  We will update members with an expected date once applications have closed.

- Payment will be taken by FIFA, for all matches you are successful for, between Monday 9 February and Sunday 22 February.  It will be an “all or nothing” process, so please only apply for matches you are wish to commit to.

Once you have read the guide on how to apply, you can start your application by heading over to the FIFA Application Page by following the 'ESTC FIFA World Cup Application link' below.

If you have any issues with your application, please contact us directly by emailing ESTC@TheFA.com.
