Verizon has just the ticket for sports fans: freebies to the 2026 FIFA World Cup and the Super Bowl.
This fall, as FIFA initiated the ticket draw for matches at the World Cup, which begins June 11, 2026 in Mexico City and ends July 19 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, Verizon began giving away ‘thousands of free tickets to the games’ and hundreds of ‘Golden Tickets’ for pitchside viewing.
In Verizon’s third phase of its FIFA Ultimate Access promotion, from Wednesday, Jan. 7 to Sunday, Jan. 11, customers get a chance to get free tickets – including pairs of tickets to all group stage matches in every U.S. city.
Prefer U.S. football? Verizon will give customers a chance to win Super Bowl tickets, chances to meet players and a VIP on-field experience, plus travel and accommodations, as part of its Super Bowl LX sweepstakes, which runs Friday, Jan. 9, to Sunday, Jan. 18.
Only Verizon customers are eligible; the provider is using its sport connections – Verizon is the official telecommunication services sponsor for both events – to drive defections from the competition.
