Philadelphia gets six FIFA World Cup matches in summer 2026, all at Lincoln Financial Field. Five group stage games and a Round of 16 fixture — enough action to make the city the centre of the footballing world for a few weeks.
Tickets through FIFA's official channels involved ballot-style draws, and most of those windows have already passed. Your best remaining route is StubHub, where seats are listed now. Expect to pay above face value — that's the reality of secondary market buying for the biggest tournament on the planet. You can filter by city and venue directly on the platform.
The Groups Playing at Lincoln Financial Field
The full 48-team group stage is split across 12 groups. Here's the complete breakdown of who's in each:
- Group A: Mexico, South Africa, South Korea, Czechia
- Group B: Canada, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Qatar, Switzerland
- Group C: Brazil, Morocco, Haiti, Scotland
- Group D: USA, Paraguay, Australia, Turkey
- Group E: Germany, Curaçao, Côte d'Ivoire, Ecuador
- Group F: Netherlands, Japan, Sweden, Tunisia
- Group G: Belgium, Egypt, Iran, New Zealand
- Group H: Spain, Cape Verde, Saudi Arabia, Uruguay
- Group I: France, Senegal, Iraq, Norway
- Group J: Argentina, Algeria, Austria, Japan
- Group K: Portugal, DR Congo, Uzbekistan, Colombia
- Group L: England, Croatia, Ghana, Panama
Which of these groups send matches to Philadelphia is still to be confirmed — the specific fixture allocation per city hasn't been fully locked in yet. But with six games on the slate, Philly is guaranteed a serious slice of the tournament.
Why Philadelphia Is Worth Your Time
Lincoln Financial Field regularly hosts over 67,000 fans for Eagles games. The atmosphere for a World Cup knockout match there — with fans from across the globe crammed into the same stands — will be something different entirely. The tailgate culture around the stadium adds a layer that most international venues simply don't offer.
If the USA lands a group stage game at Lincoln Financial Field, those tickets will become near-impossible to find at any reasonable price. Same logic applies to any group containing Brazil or Argentina. Book before the draw clarifies venue assignments — prices will jump the moment those details go public.
