The 2026 FIFA World Cup is five months away, and after an outcry over ticket prices, FIFA has reduced the price of a very limited number of seats to $60.
Most seats will cost far more than that, and as it turns out, no one is paying more than Mexican fans. According to data compiled by SeatPick, Mexico is the most expensive team for fans to watch in the World Cup, with an average cost of $5,189. Portugal is second and the USA ranks third at $2,718.
