Where it stands

As of 24 Sept 2026

No ballot.

The NFL published the sale calendar for this game and the general public sale started at 10:00 Mexico City time on 22 Sept 2026, after an American Express cardholder presale that started 14 Sept 2026 (limit 6 tickets) and a Banorte customer presale that started 17 Sept 2026 (limit 4). Tickets were still on sale as of 24 Sept 2026.

The general sale carries a limit of 4 tickets. Tickets are sold through Ticketmaster, and the official page publishes a seat map and price list.

The game is the San Francisco 49ers against the Minnesota Vikings at Estadio Banorte on Sunday 22 Nov 2026 at 19:15 local, Sunday Night Football in Week 11. Anyone without an Amex card or a Banorte account waits for the general sale: neither presale is a draw, so there is nothing to enter or win, only a queue to join.

How tickets actually work

Your odds

No ballot announced. Precedent: the 2022 Azteca game (49ers v Cardinals) was a standard Ticketmaster Mexico timed on-sale that sold out almost immediately; expect similar first-come-first-served pressure

Good to know

First NFL Mexico City game since 2022, at the renovated, renamed Estadio Banorte after the FIFA World Cup 2026. No draw has been announced for this game, and every other 2026 NFL international game used account registration plus a timed first-come-first-served on-sale.

The NFL has published the full sale calendar, venue and kickoff for this game. NFL has committed to a multiyear return to Mexico City starting 2026
