Verizon announced today that it is giving its mobile and home customers, as well as small businesses nationwide, the chance to win tickets to the FIFA World Cup 2026 Final. The final match will take place at the New York New Jersey Stadium on July 19, 2026. The promotion underscores Verizon's ongoing efforts to bring fans closer to major sporting events.
The first opportunity, the Verizon Access ticket drop, allows Verizon mobile and home customers to claim tickets to the final on a first-come, first-serve basis. The national drop occurs at 3pm EST on April 28, 2026, via the Verizon Access platform. Travel and accommodations are not included in the prize.
For small business owners, Verizon is hosting the Verizon Small Business Super Pitch Competition. The prize includes tickets to FIFA World Cup 2026 games, including the final, along with grant funding from Verizon. Eligible participants must be 18 years or older, own a small business in the U.S. or territories, and sign up for the free Verizon Small Business Digital Ready platform. They must also complete one course or attend an event in the Winning Customers category between January 1 and May 18, 2026. Entries are accepted from April 27 until May 18, 2026, at 11:59PM PT. Regional semi-finals will be held in late June, with the final live-pitch event on July 17.
In addition, select Verizon retail stores are offering another way to win tickets. From April 24 to May 15, 2026, shoppers can enter for a chance to win tickets. Participating stores can be found at VisitVerizonStores.com. For residents in Denver and Chicago, specific store information is available at VisitVerizonStores.com/Denver and VisitVerizonStores.com/Chicago.
This initiative is significant as it provides fans with a unique opportunity to attend one of the world's most-watched sporting events without purchasing tickets, while also supporting small businesses through educational resources and grant funding. The FIFA World Cup 2026 will be hosted across the United States, Canada, and Mexico, and the final in New York/New Jersey is expected to draw global attention.
