Verizon announced on April 28, 2026, that it is offering its mobile and home customers, as well as small businesses, a chance to win tickets to the FIFA World Cup 2026 Final. The final will take place on July 19 at the New York New Jersey Stadium. The initiative aims to bring fans closer to the action as the tournament approaches.
The first opportunity is a national ticket drop via Verizon Access, occurring at 3 p.m. EST on April 28. Tickets are available on a first-come, first-serve basis exclusively for Verizon mobile and home customers. Travel and accommodations are not included in the prize.
Additionally, Verizon is launching the Small Business Super Pitch Competition, which offers tickets to multiple FIFA World Cup 2026 games, including the final, along with grant funding. Small business owners aged 18 or older from all 50 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands are eligible. To enter, they must sign up for the free Verizon Small Business Digital Ready platform and complete at least one course or attend an event in the Winning Customers category between January 1 and May 18. Entries are accepted from April 27 to May 18 at 11:59 p.m. PT. Regional semi-finals are scheduled for late June, with the final live-pitch event on July 17.

For those who miss the ticket drop or do not own a small business, select Verizon retail stores are offering additional chances to win. From April 24 to May 15, shoppers can enter for a chance to win tickets. Participating stores can be found at VisitVerizonStores.com, with specific locations in Denver and Chicago listed at VisitVerizonStores.com/Denver and VisitVerizonStores.com/Chicago.
