With seven months to go before the kickoff of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, excitement is building within the Haitian diaspora. But attending the national team’s matches will come at a steep cost. According to ticket data published by the platform SeatGeek, prices have reached unprecedented levels.
Fans hoping to follow Haiti in its historic return to the World Cup — the nation’s first appearance since 1974 — will need to spend around $1,150 per match, a figure that may dampen the enthusiasm of many supporters.
Ticket prices for Haiti’s three Group C matches
SeatGeek currently lists the following prices for group stage games:
-
Haiti vs. Scotland – $1,150
Gillette Stadium, Foxborough (Massachusetts) -
Haiti vs. Brazil – $1,093
Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia (Pennsylvania) -
Haiti vs. Morocco – $400
Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Atlanta (Georgia)
Even the least expensive match — Haiti vs. Morocco — remains out of reach for many Haitian fans, while the other two games far exceed the $1,000 mark. These prices do not include travel, lodging, or food expenses.
Haiti’s opening match will be played at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, roughly 30 kilometers from Boston, home to the third-largest Haitian community in the United States. The two other games will take place in Philadelphia and Atlanta, cities that also host large Haitian populations.
A historic moment at a prohibitive cost
The Haitian diaspora, heavily represented in the host cities, had hoped ticket prices would be more accessible for this once-in-a-lifetime moment. Haiti has appeared in only one previous World Cup, in 1974, making the 2026 tournament a historic opportunity for an entire generation of supporters.
But the high price of tickets could prevent the massive turnout many envisioned.
Tickets are available on several platforms, including SeatGeek. The site notes that prices fluctuate based on a number of factors: demand, opponent, stadium, seating category, and even the team’s recent performance. Prices could rise — or fall — in the final hours before the event.
SeatGeek highlights several features designed to help buyers:
-
100% ticket guarantee
-
Transparent pricing with no hidden fees
-
Seat-view previews before purchase
-
Deal Score, a tool that evaluates whether a ticket is a good value
A challenging group for the Grenadiers
Haiti will compete in Group C alongside Brazil, Morocco, and Scotland. Their qualification through the CONCACAF process has reignited nationwide pride and excitement.
Their participation in 2026 will mark only the second World Cup appearance in Haiti’s history. The matches will take place in the United States, one of the three host countries alongside Canada and Mexico.
Despite the excitement, several community organizations warn that the high costs could prevent thousands of supporters from attending these historic matches. With inflation, economic hardship, and additional travel expenses, the dream of cheering on the Grenadiers in person may remain out of reach for many Haitian fans.
SeatGeek advises supporters to:
-
Set price alerts to track fluctuations
-
Compare different sections and stadiums
-
Stay flexible about seating choices
-
Monitor last-minute discounts, which often appear just hours before kickoff
Haiti’s return to the 2026 World Cup marks a major milestone for Haitian football. But supporting the Grenadiers in person will require a substantial financial commitment. Tickets are available through SeatGeek and other official resellers.
