Verizon, the Official Telecommunication Services Sponsor for FIFA World Cup 2026, is ramping up its fan engagement with a massive free ticket giveaway. The company announced today that it will release over 2,500 free tickets across all 64 matches on June 1, marking its largest ticket drop yet. The tickets will be available exclusively through Verizon Access in the My Verizon app on a first-come, first-served basis, with winners limited to games within 150 miles of their home address.
The announcement comes as the tournament approaches, and Verizon is debuting a new commercial featuring David Beckham to promote what it calls “Ultimate Access.” “At Verizon, we’re obsessed with giving our customers access and experiences that are above and beyond,” said Leslie Berland, Chief Marketing Officer, Verizon. “This is our biggest FIFA World Cup ticket drop yet for the most highly anticipated sporting event.”
The June 1 drop, scheduled at 3:00 PM ET, includes hundreds of “Golden Tickets” for pitchside access. Tickets will be available in all U.S. host cities, including Seattle, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Kansas City, Dallas, Houston, Boston, Atlanta, New York/New Jersey, Miami, and Philadelphia. For example, Pacific time cities like Seattle and Los Angeles will see drops at 12:00 PM PT, while East Coast cities like Boston and New York will have drops at 3:00 PM ET.
Beyond tickets, Verizon is enhancing the fan experience with its FOX One perk. New Verizon Home Internet customers can get three months of FOX One free, while myPlan customers can add FOX One for $15 per month, saving nearly $5 off the standard retail price. This perk provides live and on-demand content from FOX, ensuring fans can watch the tournament from anywhere.
Verizon is also investing in network infrastructure to support the event. The company is deploying advanced 5G and fiber technology across all host stadiums and Fan Festivals. “We’re building the digital backbone of the tournament,” the company stated, highlighting its role in powering the world’s stage.

This ticket giveaway is the latest in a series of promotions from Verizon, which previously distributed thousands of free tickets and Golden Tickets. With the tournament set to begin in June, this final drop offers fans a last chance to secure seats. The move underscores Verizon’s strategy to leverage exclusive experiences to attract and retain customers, positioning itself as the go-to provider for sports fans.
For those looking to claim tickets, the process is straightforward: download the My Verizon app, access Verizon Access, and be ready at the specified time. Travel and accommodation are not included, so the offer is tailored for local fans. As the world’s biggest sporting event approaches, Verizon aims to ensure that its customers are front and center, whether in the stadium or watching from home.
