## 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
