In order to apply for tickets in the official England section, you will need to be a member of the England Supporters Travel Club.

The draw for next summer’s tournament has now been made, with the Three Lions placed in Group L, along with Croatia, Ghana and Panama.

The match schedule for the tournament has now been announced, including dates, kick-off times and venues.

The official application stage for members is now open via FIFA's website and will remain open until Tuesday 13 January 2026.  More information can be found via the news articled posted above this section.

Tournament ballots are a little bit different to away match ballots, and more information on that can be found in section 6.3 of our Rules of Membership here.

Members will only be able to apply for one ticket each.

We conduct a ballot for any oversubscribed matches and or categories. The ballot is split into three ‘pots’.

70% of our allocation will be awarded to the most capped member from those who applied.

20% of our allocation will then be balloted to all remaining members who have been to at least 4 home matches and 2 away matches within the last 2 membership cycles.

10% of our allocation will then be balloted to all remaining members who have attended at least 1 match within the current membership cycle.

We have offered initial guidance off the back of our own registration period and have been advising all members to apply for their tickets by 11pm on Sunday 21 December.  After this date, we have requested to 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 will enable us to provide clearer, more tailored guidance to supporters to help you get the games and categories you wish based on your caps total, avoiding higher categories as much as possible.

All the information you need to know about how ESTC members can apply for tickets can be found here.

As we get closer to the tournament we will be releasing more relevant information for members. If you have any questions that are not yet covered here, the best way to contact us is to head to our homepage and select the 'submit query' option in the bottom right hand side of the page.
