HOUSTON – With the biggest frustration of going to a FIFA World Cup 2026 game being the prices to get in the door, one of the cheapest ways to attend a game in Houston will be Friday’s game against Saudi Arabia and Cabo Verde.
Right now on StubHub, the lowest ticket to the game is around $516, while the cheapest ticket to Monday’s Round of 32 game between Brazil and a team to be named later is $1,665. Below is the link to tomorrow’s game:
It’s not just that both teams don’t have a huge fan base, which usually drives up the price of tickets; there’s also a thought that both teams could be mathematically eliminated from advancing to the Round of 32 by the beginning of the match.
