The race for Euro 2028 tickets is expected to attract considerable interest as England, Scotland, Wales and the Republic of Ireland prepare to host one of European football’s biggest international tournaments. Supporters hoping to watch the competition in person will need to wait until after the final tournament draw in December 2027 before general ticket sales begin.
UEFA has confirmed that approximately three million tickets will be made available for Euro 2028, with sales taking place exclusively through its official website. The governing body has also outlined plans for a transparent pricing structure, with no dynamic pricing, meaning ticket prices will not fluctuate according to demand.
The tournament will run from 9 June to 9 July 2028, featuring 24 national teams across 51 matches at nine stadiums in eight cities. For supporters in Britain and Ireland, the competition offers an opportunity to watch international football at venues across the four host nations.
Although ticket prices and the complete application process have not yet been announced, UEFA has published several important details. Understanding the confirmed arrangements can help supporters prepare before applications open.
When will Euro 2028 tickets go on sale?
UEFA has confirmed that general ticket sales will begin after the final tournament draw, expected in December 2027. The governing body plans to announce ticket prices and further information about the application process in autumn 2027.
This means supporters should not expect general admission tickets to become available during 2026 or the early part of 2027. The decision to delay sales until after the draw is intended to give fans a clearer understanding of the teams and fixtures before applying.
The final draw will determine the six groups and establish which countries meet in the opening stage. Once the draw is complete, supporters will have a better opportunity to select matches based on their preferred teams, venues and travel arrangements.
UEFA has not yet confirmed the precise opening and closing dates for applications. It has, however, made clear that the initial public sale will use a ballot system rather than a first-come, first-served queue.
Supporters should therefore avoid relying on unofficial announcements claiming that general Euro 2028 tickets are already available.
How to apply for Euro 2028 tickets
The official application process will be managed through UEFA’s ticketing platform. Supporters should use the governing body’s website rather than third-party sellers advertising access to the tournament.
UEFA is already encouraging fans to create a myUEFA account and subscribe to ticketing updates. This will allow supporters to receive information when the application window and further ticketing arrangements are announced.
The expected application process will involve the following stages.
First, supporters should create an account through the official UEFA website and make sure their contact details are correct.
Once ticket sales open, applicants will be able to review the available matches and submit their requests during the announced application period.
Applications will then be considered through the ballot process. This is designed to give supporters an opportunity to apply without having to compete in a high-pressure online queue.
Successful applicants will receive further instructions about payment and ticket delivery through UEFA’s official ticketing system.
It is important to understand that submitting an application will not automatically guarantee a ticket. Demand for popular fixtures, particularly matches involving the host nations and the later knockout rounds, is likely to be considerable.
The complete rules, application limits, payment arrangements and notification dates will need to be checked when UEFA publishes its official ticketing guidance.
Fans can visit the official UEFA tickets and hospitality portal for account registration and tournament updates.
How much will Euro 2028 tickets cost?
UEFA has not announced the official Euro 2028 ticket prices as of November 2026. The governing body has confirmed that pricing information will be published in autumn 2027.
However, its initial ticketing announcement provides some important information about affordability.
More than 40% of the available tickets will be offered in the most affordable categories. UEFA has also promised a consistent pricing structure throughout the competition, with no dynamic pricing.
Dynamic pricing is a system in which ticket costs can change according to demand, availability or other market conditions. UEFA’s decision means regular group-stage ticket prices will remain consistent rather than increasing simply because a particular fixture attracts greater interest.
This is relevant for supporters hoping to watch England, Scotland, Wales or the Republic of Ireland. Matches involving popular national teams can attract substantial demand, but UEFA has committed to a pricing approach that does not allow prices to fluctuate dynamically.
Nevertheless, the absence of dynamic pricing does not mean every match will cost the same. Different ticket categories and competition stages may have different prices. The final price structure will only become clear when UEFA publishes the official figures.
Supporters should be cautious about websites advertising supposedly confirmed Euro 2028 ticket prices before the governing body releases its pricing schedule.
How many tickets will be available?
Approximately three million tickets are expected to be available for Euro 2028.
UEFA has described the tournament’s ticketing approach as an effort to make the competition accessible to a broad range of supporters.
According to its December 2025 announcement, more than 80% of all tickets will be available to supporters of participating teams and the general public.
The governing body has also confirmed that more than 40% of tickets will be allocated to the most affordable price categories.
Another important part of the arrangements concerns national team supporters. UEFA will work with participating national associations to make 10,000 tickets available to loyal supporters for every group-stage match.
This allocation is intended to recognise fans who regularly follow their national teams. The relevant football associations will be involved in distributing these tickets, with individual arrangements expected to depend on each association’s supporter policies.
For British fans, this means there may be different routes to obtaining tickets depending on whether they apply through the general public ballot or their national football association.
Supporters should monitor announcements from the Football Association, Scottish FA, Football Association of Wales and Irish football authorities for information about their respective allocations.
Euro 2028 host cities and stadiums
Euro 2028 will take place across eight cities in England, Scotland, Wales and the Republic of Ireland. Nine stadiums have been selected to host the 51 matches.
The confirmed venues provide supporters with several opportunities to attend matches without travelling outside the British Isles.
| Host city | Stadium |
|---|---|
| London | Wembley Stadium |
| London | Tottenham Hotspur Stadium |
| Cardiff | National Stadium of Wales |
| Manchester | Manchester City Stadium |
| Liverpool | Everton Stadium |
| Newcastle | St James’ Park |
| Birmingham | Villa Park |
| Glasgow | Hampden Park |
| Dublin | Dublin Arena |
London will host matches at both Wembley Stadium and Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Wembley will also stage the two semi-finals and the final.
Cardiff has been selected to host the opening match on 9 June 2028 at the National Stadium of Wales.
Other host cities will stage group-stage fixtures and knockout matches, including the round of 16 and quarter-finals. Dublin, Glasgow and Cardiff will each host a quarter-final, alongside Wembley.
This distribution means supporters will have a choice of venues across different regions, although the most attractive fixtures may generate greater competition for tickets.
The tournament’s confirmed schedule is available through UEFA’s Euro 2028 fixture and venue guide.
Which Euro 2028 matches will attract the most demand?
Although the participating teams will not be confirmed until the qualification process is complete, certain fixtures are likely to attract particular attention.
The opening match in Cardiff will mark the start of the competition and provide an early opportunity for supporters to experience the tournament atmosphere.
Matches involving England could also attract considerable interest, particularly if the national team progresses through the group stage and into the knockout rounds.
Scotland, Wales and the Republic of Ireland could generate strong local demand if they qualify. Their supporters may also benefit from the opportunity to watch group-stage matches in their respective home nations.
Wembley will be another major attraction. Its semi-finals and final will bring the competition to its closing stages, making those fixtures important considerations for supporters planning ahead.
However, interest should not be confused with confirmed ticket availability. UEFA has not published individual match allocations or the number of tickets available for each public ballot category.
The tournament format will involve 24 teams divided into six groups. The top two teams from each group and the four best third-placed teams will progress to the round of 16.
This means supporters may want to consider more than one match when planning their applications, particularly if they are interested in following a specific national team.
Official Euro 2028 hospitality packages
Supporters who do not want to rely solely on the general ticket ballot may also consider official hospitality packages.
UEFA has appointed BEYOND Hospitality as the official hospitality provider for Euro 2028. The programme is expected to offer premium matchday experiences across all nine stadiums.
Hospitality packages generally provide a different experience from standard admission tickets, potentially including premium seating, food, drinks and additional services.
However, hospitality should not be confused with the general public ticket allocation. It is a separate purchasing route and may involve considerably higher costs.
UEFA’s ticketing announcement confirmed that hospitality information would be published separately. Supporters can find the provider’s details through the official Euro 2028 hospitality website.
Anyone considering this option should check exactly what each package includes, its price, payment conditions and cancellation arrangements before making a purchase.
Can supporters resell Euro 2028 tickets?
UEFA has also outlined its approach to ticket resale, which is particularly important for supporters who may be unable to attend a match after purchasing tickets.
The governing body has confirmed that an official resale platform will be available. Tickets sold through this service will be restricted to their original face value, with no seller fees.
UEFA has also stated that resale outside its official platform will not be authorised.
This approach is intended to discourage ticket touting and reduce the risk of supporters paying inflated prices through unofficial marketplaces.
For buyers, the safest option will be to use UEFA’s authorised ticketing and resale services. Tickets advertised through social media, private messages or unfamiliar websites may carry additional risks.
Supporters should also check UEFA’s terms and conditions before transferring or attempting to resell tickets, as the rules governing ticket ownership and entry will apply throughout the competition.
Accessibility arrangements for disabled supporters
UEFA has included accessibility provisions in its published ticketing principles.
Disabled supporters will be able to purchase tickets at the same price as the most affordable ticket category. They will also be able to request a complimentary ticket for a companion.
This is an important part of the tournament’s stated commitment to making matches accessible to a wider range of supporters.
However, individual stadium facilities and accessible seating arrangements may differ. Supporters should check the relevant venue information and UEFA’s accessibility guidance before applying.
Further information about accessible entrances, wheelchair spaces, companion arrangements and other matchday requirements should be reviewed when the full ticketing conditions become available.
National football associations may also provide additional information for disabled supporters applying through their respective allocations.
When will the Euro 2028 fixtures be confirmed?
UEFA has already published the overall tournament schedule, including the dates and venues for the competition’s matches.
However, the final group-stage fixtures, including the identities of the participating countries, will be confirmed following the final tournament draw in December 2027.
The competition will begin on 9 June 2028 in Cardiff, while Wembley will host the final on 9 July 2028.
The two semi-finals are scheduled for 4 and 5 July 2028, also at Wembley.
The tournament will follow the established 24-team format. Following the group stage, 16 countries will progress to the knockout rounds.
Three kick-off slots have been confirmed in Central European Summer Time: 15:00, 18:00 and 21:00. The final is scheduled to begin at 18:00 CEST, equivalent to 17:00 UK local time.
Full match-specific kick-off information will follow the final draw.
How supporters can prepare before ticket sales open
Although general ticket applications will not open until after the December 2027 draw, supporters can take several practical steps in advance.
Creating a myUEFA account is the first step. Fans should also subscribe to official ticketing updates so they receive information about the application window and any changes to the arrangements.
Those hoping to follow a particular national team should monitor its football association’s announcements. National associations will play an important role in distributing the 10,000 tickets reserved for loyal supporters at each group-stage match.
Travel planning is another consideration. With matches taking place across eight cities, supporters may need to arrange accommodation and transport well before individual fixtures approach.
However, booking non-refundable travel before securing match tickets carries financial risks. It may be sensible to compare flexible accommodation and transport options rather than committing to expensive arrangements too early.
Fans travelling between England, Scotland, Wales and the Republic of Ireland should also consider the time and cost involved in reaching different stadiums.
The published schedule can help supporters identify possible travel requirements, although the final group draw will determine which teams play at particular venues.
Most importantly, fans should avoid unofficial ticket offers. UEFA has made clear that tournament tickets will be sold exclusively through its official platform, with authorised resale arrangements provided separately.
