Ticket limit per Brazilian fan for the 2026 World Cup

When you start thinking about buying tickets to see Brazil at the 2026 World Cup, one of the first questions that comes up is very simple: “How many tickets can I buy?”

The official World Cup ticketing systems work with limits per person and per household, to prevent a small number of people from buying out all the inventory and to give as many fans as possible a fair chance. For Brazilian fans who want to see the Seleção in North America, understanding these numbers is key to planning how many matches to attend, who to travel with and how to organise ticket purchases.

In this article, we explain how many tickets each fan can buy, how these limits work in practice and what options you have when you travel with family or a large group of friends – especially if you later decide to use a platform like Football Tickets Brazil to secure your tickets.

What is the ticket limit per person for the 2026 World Cup?

The 2026 World Cup ticketing system sets two basic limits:

• A maximum of 4 tickets per household, per match.
• A maximum of 40 tickets in total per household for the entire tournament.

This means that:

For any single match (for example, a Brazil group-stage match), one household cannot buy more than 4 tickets in the official system. And if you add up all the matches you buy tickets for during the World Cup (Brazil games, other teams, group stage, knockouts, etc.), you cannot exceed a total of 40 tickets for that same household.

The key concept here is “household”:
purchases are grouped by address and the personal data registered in the ticketing account. All tickets linked to that address count towards the same quota.

How the household ticket limit works in practice

To better understand how this purchase limit works, it helps to look at a few hypothetical situations:

• If you want to see 3 Brazil matches in the group stage and you travel with 3 friends, a single household can buy 4 tickets for each of those 3 matches. You are still within the limit (3 matches × 4 tickets = 12 tickets, well below the cap of 40).

• If you also want to add some neutral matches (for example, a game in the city where you are staying), you can still buy up to 4 tickets for each of those matches, as long as the overall total does not exceed 40.

In other words, the 40-ticket limit is designed to stop large-scale bulk purchases, not to make life difficult for fans who just want to follow their national team and add a few extra games.

Where it does become an issue is in the case of very large groups or big families who want to sit together in the stands.

What happens if you travel with family or a big group?

For groups of more than 4 people, the situation changes. The official system does not allow a single household to buy more than 4 tickets for the same match.

To get more tickets, fans usually rely on several households/accounts within the group (for example, friends who live at different addresses, each buying their own block of 4). However, this tends to create two main challenges:

• Coordination: everyone needs to log in and buy at the same time to get seats as close together as possible.
• Risk of being split up: it’s very common for part of the group to succeed in buying tickets and another part not, which can leave some fans separated or even outside the stadium.
