When does the Euro 2028 ticket ballot open?

When does the Euro 2028 ballot open?

No date is announced. What UEFA has fixed is the order of events: full ticketing details and prices arrive in autumn 2027, the final draw takes place in December 2027, and sales start only after that draw, so buyers know which teams play where before committing. Unlike previous EUROs there will be no pre-draw sales phase at all. The practical takeaway: there is nothing to do until autumn 2027, and anyone claiming to sell Euro 2028 tickets before then is selling something UEFA has not released. We track the Euro 2028 record and will publish the ballot window the day UEFA announces it; the calendar feed picks it up automatically.

How will the Euro 2028 ballot work?

UEFA's announced model for the start of general public sales is an application window followed by a random allocation: submit your application during the window, then wait for the draw. No queue position matters and speed does not help, which is the point. Based on every recent UEFA EURO cycle, entering will be free, with payment only if you are allocated tickets; UEFA will confirm this with the full details in autumn 2027.

What will Euro 2028 tickets cost?

Prices land in autumn 2027, but the structure is committed: no dynamic pricing anywhere in the tournament, a clear and consistent pricing structure from start to finish, and more than 40 percent of tickets in the most affordable categories. Official resale will run at face value. That combination makes Euro 2028 a deliberate contrast with dynamically priced tournaments, and it means the price you see at announcement is the price you pay in the ballot.

How do fans of a qualified team get tickets?

Over 80 percent of all tickets go to fans of the participating teams and the general public. On top of the public ballot, 10,000 tickets per group-stage match are reserved for the supporters of each competing team, distributed through the national associations, so following your team through its association is a second official route once qualification settles.

What are the odds?

UEFA publishes no odds, but the shape is predictable from the inventory: about 3 million tickets across 51 matches is the largest EURO allocation yet, and group matches at the bigger venues will be materially easier draws than the opener, the knockouts or the Wembley final, which will be heavily oversubscribed. When the ballot opens, applying for less glamorous group fixtures is the odds-maximising move, the same pattern as every major ballot we track.
