Verizon, the Official Telecommunication Services Sponsor for FIFA World Cup 2026, announced its largest free ticket giveaway for the tournament, offering over 2,500 free tickets across 64 matches in every U.S. host city. The ticket drop will occur on June 1 at 3:00 PM ET, with hundreds of 'Golden Tickets' available for pitchside access. Tickets are available on a first-come, first-served basis exclusively through Verizon Access in the My Verizon app. Accounts can only claim tickets to games within 150 miles of their home address, optimizing for local fans.
To mark the occasion, Verizon debuted a new commercial featuring David Beckham, who returns to show fans how Verizon provides 'Ultimate Access' to the tournament. 'At Verizon, we’re obsessed with giving our customers access and experiences that are above and beyond,' said Leslie Berland, Chief Marketing Officer, Verizon. 'This is our biggest FIFA World Cup ticket drop yet for the most highly anticipated sporting event.'
In addition to tickets, Verizon is offering entertainment perks like FOX One. New Verizon Home Internet customers can get three months of FOX One on us, while myPlan customers can add FOX One as a monthly perk for $15/month, a savings of nearly $5 off the standard retail price. FOX One provides live and on-demand content of sports, news, and entertainment.
Verizon is also powering the tournament with advanced 5G and fiber technology, delivering connectivity upgrades across all host stadiums and Fan Festivals. Learn more about how Verizon is building the digital backbone of the tournament here.
