On Thursday, FIFA, the global soccer body, opened a new lottery window for a chance to buy tickets to the 2026 World Cup.

Thanks to the recent draw that defined the 12 groups of four national teams (with some pending) and the full schedule for the tournament — and unlike the two prior lottery rounds — fans can now select individual matches.

Starting Dec. 18, fans can access the FIFA ticket platform to see the prices for each of the 104 matches in the tournament, the biggest in history after the expansion to 48 teams from 32 in recent competitions. The Bay Area will host six games at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara (or San Francisco Bay Area Stadium, as FIFA calls it): five in the group phase and one for the round of 32.
