World Cup resale prices dip, with USA-Paraguay opener among the bargains
Resale prices for the 2026 World Cup in the U.S. have fallen across most matches as kickoff nears, with the U.S. opener vs. Paraguay showing notable bargains on resale sites (Category 1 about $1,323 vs FIFA’s primary $2,735). Across 52 group-stage games, 25 now have at least one resale price below FIFA’s prices, and several matches feature savings above $100. Despite declines, resale prices generally remain higher than primary-market prices for all knockout matches and for many high-demand group games; Mexico’s market is constrained by local law, and FIFA has been releasing inventory in batches while seeking to spur sales.
