England fans want to travel to the 2026 World Cup in large numbers. The distance from the UK to North America, the time zone differences and the FIFA World Cup 2026 Tickets all require careful planning. Here is a complete guide for England supporters.
ENGLAND'S FIXTURES
England's group games:
MD1: England vs. Croatia, June 17, AT&T Stadium, Dallas, 4:00 PM ET
MD2: England vs. Ghana, June 23, Gillette Stadium, Boston
MD3: England vs. Panama, June 27, AT&T Stadium, Dallas
Dallas hosts two England group games. Boston hosts one. If England advance, their knockout games move to other venues based on bracket position.
THE ENGLISH FA TICKET ALLOCATION
The Football Association is England's Participating Member Association. They receive an official FIFA allocation of 8% of tickets for England's matches. Within that allocation, 10% are Supporter Entry Tier ($60) tickets for the most loyal fans. Another 40% are Supporter Value Tier (above $60 but below general public face value).
The England Supporters Travel Club (ESTC) is the official route to FA-allocated tickets. Register with the ESTC at thefa.com and follow their communications for allocation details.
The ESTC previously reported that if an England fan bought tickets for every game through to the Final, the cost would just over $7,000 through the public FIFA portal.
BUYING THROUGH THE FIFA PORTAL
England fans can also buy through FIFA.com/tickets directly. The Last-Minute Phase in early April 2026 is the remaining public option. England games in Dallas and Boston will have strong secondary market availability given the large English diaspora in North America and the established English supporters travel culture.
WHAT DALLAS OFFERS
AT&T Stadium is one of the most impressive venues in the entire tournament. 100,000 capacity, retractable roof, climate control. For the June 17 England vs. Croatia game, a 4:00 PM ET kickoff is 9:00 PM in London. Peak evening viewing time for the UK.
Arrive at Dallas/Fort Worth Airport and take transport to the Arlington area. The stadium is approximately 20 miles from DFW Airport.
WHAT BOSTON OFFERS
Gillette Stadium in Foxborough is a 75,000-seat outdoor venue. Boston has a large Irish and English-origin community. The atmosphere for the England vs. Ghana game on June 23 will be strongly pro-England. Gillette Stadium hosts a quarterfinal on July 10, so it is a significant venue for later rounds too.
SECONDARY MARKET FOR ENGLAND FANS
England fans should check StubHub's UK site and viagogo for English-friendly resale options. TicketSwap is popular in European fan communities. For the best buyer protection, VividSeats or StubHub with their buyer guarantee programs are the most reliable options.
