The United States opened World Cup 2026 with a 4-1 win over Paraguay at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, highlighted by a Paraguayan own goal, two strikes from Folarin Balogun, and a curler from Giovanni Reyna, in front of a crowd over 70,000 as fans celebrated a home tournament kickoff.
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.
As the World Cup approaches, most group-stage tickets remain on general sale but prices are sky-high: the USA vs Paraguay opener can reach over $4,100 in some categories, while the cheapest group-stage tickets start at $380. Prices vary by category under FIFA’s new dynamic pricing, and several matches — including Mexico’s opener — are already sold out, though big-nation games remain available at premium prices, drawing mixed reactions as FIFA defends the pricing strategy.
