Verizon, the Official Telecommunication Services Sponsor for FIFA World Cup 2026, today announced its largest free ticket giveaway for customers, offering over 2,500 free tickets across 64 matches in every U.S. host city. The announcement comes with a new commercial featuring David Beckham, emphasizing Verizon's role in providing "Ultimate Access" to the tournament. The ticket drop will occur on June 1 at 3 p.m. ET, with tickets available on a first-come, first-served basis exclusively through Verizon Access in the My Verizon app. Customers can only claim tickets to games within 150 miles of their home address, optimizing the giveaway for local fans.
This giveaway includes hundreds of "Golden Tickets" for pitchside access, adding to the thousands of tickets already distributed. The drop covers matches 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. Each city has specific match times aligned with local time zones, ensuring fans can attend games near them.
Beyond tickets, Verizon is enhancing the fan experience with the FOX One perk. New Verizon Home Internet customers can get three months of FOX One free, while myPlan customers can add it for $15 per month, a savings of nearly $5 off the standard retail price. FOX One provides live and on-demand sports, news, and entertainment content.
Verizon is also powering the tournament with advanced 5G and fiber technology, delivering connectivity upgrades across all host stadiums and Fan Festivals. The company aims to elevate the fan experience by building the digital backbone of the event, as detailed on their website.

The ticket drop represents a significant opportunity for fans to attend matches without the cost of tickets, while the FOX One perk ensures they can watch from home. Verizon's investment in network infrastructure also promises to enhance the in-stadium experience for all attendees.
