FIFA is now expected to generate more than $15 billion in revenue from the 2026 World Cup, which will be hosted across the United States, Canada, and Mexico, according to a report cited by Odaily and attributed to The Edge. The figure is well above FIFA’s initial projection of $11 billion.
The upward revision was driven by a sharp increase in ticket-related income, including revenue linked to the secondary market. The report said FIFA collects fees or commissions from both buyers and sellers in that market, adding to overall tournament revenue.
The new forecast points to a significant jump from FIFA’s earlier estimate and highlights how ticket demand, including resale activity, has become a major contributor to the financial outlook for the 2026 event.
