It's a promotion that's giving summer goals.

For a limited time, soccer lovers with an eligible Chase Sapphire card will gain access to purchase FIFA World Cup 2026 tickets with "no lottery, no waiting," Chase says. Qualifying cards include:

• The Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card.

• The Chase Sapphire Reserve®.

• The Sapphire Reserve for Business℠.

• The J.P. Morgan Reserve card.

If you're interested, here's what to know.

Key times, dates and places

From 12 p.m. ET Feb. 10 through Feb. 24, 2026, holders of the above cards will get exclusive access to buy up to four tickets per match across all U.S. host cities, up to 40 total for the tournament.

Tickets included are for category 1 and 2 seats only, and they include matches from June 12 through July 18, 2026, in Los Angeles, Kansas City, Miami, Boston, Dallas, Atlanta, Seattle, New York, New Jersey, Houston, Philadelphia and San Francisco.

What to know about buying tickets

Ticket prices will vary by match. They're available on a first-come, first-served basis, and only while supplies last. You must have a FIFA account to buy World Cup tickets, so if you don't already have one, best to go ahead and set it up before Feb. 10 to avoid delays.

Once the promotion is live, visit chase.com/sapphireexperiences. From there, you’ll see a FIFA section that allows you to access tickets. After clicking on that option, you’ll have to verify your cardholder status by entering the card number to view and purchase tickets.

After that step, you’ll receive a unique link that redirects you to FIFA’s official website, where you’ll need to log in with your FIFA account to browse available tickets and buy them through the official FIFA ticketing system. (Chase suggests saving or copying the link just in case, since you’ll only be able to receive up to two links as a cardholder.)
