Bank of America, Vet Tix, and FIFA have partnered to put $2.25 million worth of free FIFA World Cup 2026 tickets into the hands of military veterans, active-duty service members, first responders, and their families. The tickets are available across the country, and the program covers every stage of the tournament.

Veterans and active-duty military personnel can register through Vet Tix. Current and retired law enforcement officers, firefighters, EMS providers, registered nurses, and 911 dispatchers can apply through 1st Tix. Both platforms verify eligibility through ID.me, and sign-up is free on both sites.

More than 4,500 tickets are being distributed across all 11 U.S. host cities, covering every stage of the tournament from the group stage through the final. 250 of those tickets have been specifically reserved for USMNT matches, in honor of America's 250th anniversary.

Once tickets become available, registered Vet Tix and 1st Tix members will receive an email alert letting them know how to secure free seats for a match in their area. Tickets are distributed by local area, so where you live determines which matches you'll have access to.

Where to Sign Up
