Put simply, <strong>we compared ticket prices to the average local rent and average estimated mortgage payment in the 11 U.S. host cities<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To that end, for each city, we researched the cheapest ticket available to the most expensive group-stage game and the overall most expensive game (at the time of publication). As expected, the most expensive games overall are the final, semi-finals and quarter-finals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, we determined the estimated monthly mortgage payment for each city (referenced as average monthly mortgage in this article) based on the local median sale price and a standard 30-year mortgage with a 6.5% interest rate and 20% down payment. Then, we pulled rental data from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentcafe.com\/\">Rentcafe<\/a> and compared mortgage and rent metrics to ticket prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With kick-off just days away, the gap is already stark: In five of the 11 host cities, the cheapest knockout-stage tickets cost at least a full month&#8217;s mortgage or rent. Even the lowest-priced quarter-final seat ($1,333 for Match 97 in Boston) covers one-quarter of a local&#8217;s average monthly mortgage payment or one-third of their rent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Semi-final seats run even higher: The cheapest ticket costs as much as about a month\u2019s mortgage for Atlanta and Dallas residents or five to six weeks of rent. Meanwhile, the lowest-priced World Cup final ticket costs the average New Yorker nearly two months\u2019 mortgage payments or more than six weeks of rent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:6px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"flourish-embed flourish-chart\" data-src=\"visualisation\/29247938\"><script src=\"https:\/\/public.flourish.studio\/resources\/embed.js\"><\/script><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/public.flourish.studio\/visualisation\/29247938\/thumbnail\" width=\"100%\" alt=\"chart visualization\" \/><\/noscript><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, the notable exception is the group-stage Colombia versus Portugal, which is pricier than all matches except the final (so far). But, beyond the highly anticipated Colombia-Portugal showdown, group-stage games are still rivaling locals\u2019 mortgage payments and rent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, in eight of the 11 U.S. host cities, the cheapest seat at a top-rated group-stage game would cost locals at least 10 days of rent or the equivalent of one week&#8217;s mortgage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-miami\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Miami\"><\/span>Miami<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"237\" height=\"191\" src=\"https:\/\/www.propertyshark.com\/Real-Estate-Reports\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/98\/2026\/06\/Fifa-ticket-cards_Miami-1.png?w=237\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-48077\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Speaking of the highly anticipated Colombia versus Portugal match, it\u2019s (unsurprisingly) the most expensive game scheduled for Miami Hard Rock Stadium with the cheapest ticket priced at $2,700. So, with Miami\u2019s average estimated monthly mortgage payment sitting at $2,731 and the average rent at $2,696, a ticket to the June 27 game will set locals back a full month\u2019s mortgage or rent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, even a more typical group-stage game \u2014 like Scotland versus Brazil \u2014 would cost at least $1,673 or more than half a month\u2019s mortgage or rent in Miami.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:6px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-philadelphia\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Philadelphia\"><\/span>Philadelphia<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"237\" height=\"191\" src=\"https:\/\/www.propertyshark.com\/Real-Estate-Reports\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/98\/2026\/06\/Fifa-ticket-cards_Philadelphia-2.png?w=237\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-48110\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>In Philadelphia, Match 89 on July 4 is the most expensive overall match, with even the cheapest ticket priced at $1,006. Comparatively, Philadelphia\u2019s housing market is the most affordable among the 11 host cities with the median sale price now at $280,000 and an average monthly mortgage payment of $1,416. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That means that the priciest World Cup game at Lincoln Financial Field costs nearly as much as three weeks of mortgage payments for a Philadelphia homeowner. Meanwhile, with rents averaging $1,984, Philadelphia renters would pay more than two week\u2019s rent for the same ticket. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a top-rated group-stage game like Brazil versus Haiti on June 19, locals need to spend at least $855, more than half a month\u2019s mortgage and nearly two weeks of rent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:6px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-kansas-city-mo\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Kansas_City_Mo\"><\/span>Kansas City, Mo.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"237\" height=\"191\" src=\"https:\/\/www.propertyshark.com\/Real-Estate-Reports\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/98\/2026\/06\/Fifa-ticket-cards_Kansas-City-1.png?w=237\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-48075\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Although the cheapest Arrowhead Stadium ticket to a top-rated group-stage game like Argentina versus Algeria would cost a comparatively lower $823, that price would still cost more than half a month\u2019s mortgage or rent in Kansas City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Otherwise, locals interested in watching the July 11 quarter-final live at Arrowhead Stadium face a steeper $1,567 ticket. For Kansas City residents, that ticket price easily pays the $1,477 average monthly mortgage or the $1,342 average local rent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:6px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-houston\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Houston\"><\/span>Houston<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"237\" height=\"191\" src=\"https:\/\/www.propertyshark.com\/Real-Estate-Reports\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/98\/2026\/06\/Fifa-ticket-cards_Houston-1.png?w=237\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-48109\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Houston residents face similar price challenges as the cheapest ticket to the top-rated group game scheduled for NRG Stadium \u2014 the June 23 Portugal-Uzbekistan match \u2014 is priced at $802. Because the average Houston rent sits at $1,347, even the best deal costs as more than two weeks\u2019 rent. And, for Houston homeowners, it pays half of the $1,679 average monthly mortgage payment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The priciest overall match in Houston so far is Match 90 on July 4, with opponents yet to be determined but tickets costing at least $854. That would pay a little over half of the monthly mortgage of a local and a good two weeks\u2019 rent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:6px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-dallas\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dallas\"><\/span>Dallas<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"237\" height=\"191\" src=\"https:\/\/www.propertyshark.com\/Real-Estate-Reports\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/98\/2026\/06\/Fifa-ticket-cards_Dallas.png?w=237\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-48073\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Dallas residents looking to catch a World Cup game at AT&amp;T Stadium would pay at least $1,096 for a top-rated group match like Argentina versus Austria. Considering the $1,578 average rent and the $465,000 median sale price of Dallas resulting in a $2,351 average monthly mortgage payment, even the cheapest ticket would cost almost half of the average monthly mortgage payment or nearly three weeks\u2019 rent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus, locals willing to splurge on a semi-final premium would pay at least $2,391 for the July 14 match. That means that the cheapest ticket to the Dallas semi-final costs as much as one month\u2019s mortgage or six weeks of rent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:6px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"flourish-embed flourish-chart\" data-src=\"visualisation\/29234680\"><script src=\"https:\/\/public.flourish.studio\/resources\/embed.js\"><\/script><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/public.flourish.studio\/visualisation\/29234680\/thumbnail\" width=\"100%\" alt=\"chart visualization\" \/><\/noscript><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-nyc\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"NYC\"><\/span>NYC<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"237\" height=\"191\" src=\"https:\/\/www.propertyshark.com\/Real-Estate-Reports\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/98\/2026\/06\/Fifa-ticket-cards_New-York.png?w=237\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-48078\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>With an average monthly mortgage payment of $4,096 and the average rent at $4,872, New York has one of the most expensive housing markets in the country. Yet, even compared to NYC\u2019s high-cost housing, when it comes to the July 19 final, the premium is through the roof: The cheapest World Cup final ticket is priced at $7,256, meaning locals are looking at spending nearly two months\u2019 mortgage or six weeks\u2019 rent to attend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What\u2019s more, even more typical World Cup matches at MetLife Stadium carry serious price tags: The cheapest ticket to a top-rated group-stage game like Brazil versus Morocco cost $1,465.

That means that with the price of a semi-final ticket, Atlanta residents could pay one month\u2019s mortgage or about five weeks\u2019 rent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:6px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-seattle\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Seattle\"><\/span>Seattle<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"237\" height=\"191\" src=\"https:\/\/www.propertyshark.com\/Real-Estate-Reports\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/98\/2026\/06\/Fifa-ticket-cards_Seattle-1.png?w=237\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-48094\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Seattle residents are also no strangers to high housing costs with the median sale price at $865,000 (for an average monthly mortgage payment of $4,374) and a $2,298 average rent.

For Angelenos, that\u2019s one-third of your mortgage or more than two weeks\u2019 rent for a live game at SoFi Stadium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:6px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-san-francisco\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"San_Francisco\"><\/span>San Francisco<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"237\" height=\"191\" src=\"https:\/\/www.propertyshark.com\/Real-Estate-Reports\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/98\/2026\/06\/Fifa-ticket-cards_San-Francisco-1.png?w=237\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-48111\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>With a weaker group-stage and a high-cost housing market, the math for San Francisco goes somewhat against the other host cities. Specifically, the average San Francisco rent now sits at $3,635, while homeowners are paying an average of $6,842 per month as mortgage expenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here, the cheapest ticket to the top-rated group game at Levi\u2019s Stadium (Paraguay versus T\u00fcrkiye) is $391 \u2014 around 3 days of rent or 6% of their monthly mortgage. Meanwhile, even the most expensive match scheduled for the city \u2014 Match 81 on July 1 \u2014 costs $682, the equivalent of six days\u2019 rent or 10% of the local monthly mortgage payment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:6px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-for-locals-world-cup-tickets-look-like-housing-bills\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"For_Locals_World_Cup_Tickets_Look_Like_Housing_Bills\"><\/span>For Locals, World Cup Tickets Look Like Housing Bills<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With kick-off just days away and this edition\u2019s dynamic pricing structure, ticket costs will continue to evolve with many likely to surge further, while some may go down. But, even before the tournament begins, the cheapest seats to the biggest matches are already landing in the same range as major monthly expenses, not just a night out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Across host cities, that puts the cheapest tickets for top-rated matches at the same level as the cost of a full month\u2019s mortgage or rent \u2014 especially once the tournament moves beyond the group stage. And, because the analysis uses the lowest available ticket prices, those figures are only the entry point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-full-data-table\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Full_Data_Table\"><\/span>Full Data Table<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:6px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Explore city-level metrics for the most expensive game in the interactive table below:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:6px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"min-height:px\" id=\"datawrapper-vis-bwfjK\"><script type=\"text\/javascript\" defer src=\"https:\/\/datawrapper.dwcdn.net\/bwfjK\/embed.js\" charset=\"utf-8\" data-target=\"#datawrapper-vis-bwfjK\"><\/script><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/datawrapper.dwcdn.net\/bwfjK\/full.png\" alt=\"Table\" \/><\/noscript><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-methodology\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Methodology\"><\/span><strong>Methodology<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Ticket prices were researched and verified through the official <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fifa.com\/en\/tournaments\/mens\/worldcup\/canadamexicousa2026\/tickets\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">FIFA World Cup 2026<\/a> portal, <a href=\"https:\/\/gametime.co\/2026-fifa-world-cup-tickets\/performers\/soccerworldcup\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">GameTime<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/seatgeek.com\/fifa-world-cup-tickets\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">SeatGeek<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stubhub.com\/world-cup-tickets\/grouping\/45410\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">StubHub<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ticketdata.com\/performer\/world-cup-soccer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">TicketData<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vividseats.com\/world-cup-soccer-tickets--sports-soccer\/performer\/944\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Vivid<\/a> and include both first-sale and resale tickets.
