Where it stands

As of 7 Jul 2026

As of 2026-07-07: application-phase ballot closed 2026-06-02; outcome emails went out from 2026-06-23 (successful applicants charged automatically; reported final payment-retry deadline 2026-07-07, unpaid allocations released). Next public sale opens 2026-10-01, first-come-first-served

How to buy

The application ballot is over. Next chance: register/log in at tickets.rugbyworldcup.com and buy first-come-first-served from 1 October 2026; further sales phases will follow with pricing announced in advance; an official resale platform (buy/sell/transfer at authorised channel) will open closer to the tournament; ticket-inclusive hospitality/travel via RWC Experiences is on sale now

Your odds

Ballot (random draw) applied only where a price category for a match was oversubscribed; every application had equal chance regardless of submission time. Feb 2026 presale was record-breaking per World Rugby, so marquee matches (Final, Australia and New Zealand games, Ireland v Scotland) are expected to sell extremely fast on 1 Oct 2026
