I have to confess: I\u2019m not a World Cup fan. Or a soccer fan. Or any kind of sports fan, for that matter. But my fianc\u00e9 is something of a fanatic. He\u2019s an avid supporter, follower, watcher, cheerer of the World Cup, and even though we\u2019re still about a year out from the biggest soccer event in the world, he\u2019s already talking about it, incessantly and fervently \u2014 so much so that I now can\u2019t help but be swept up in his enthusiasm. It\u2019s utterly palpable.\u00a0<\/p>\n

So, here\u2019s what I\u2019ve learned: The FIFA World Cup 26TM<\/sup> is a really big deal, <\/em>because not only will it be the largest, with 48 participating teams, but it\u2019s heading stateside. For the first time ever, the World Cup is being co-hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico. That means, over the course of a month (from June 11 to July 19, 2026), the tournament will span North America, kicking off in Mexico City, with matches being played in major cities, like Los Angeles, Miami, and Toronto, before culminating in the final at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.\u00a0<\/p>\n

That also <\/em>means, for U.S. folks, we can tune in to watch at an appropriate time \u2014 and not, say, forced to wake up at the crack of dawn, all groggy and bleary-eyed, to catch a 5 a.m. match \u2014 because we\u2019re physically close in proximity to the action.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Luckily for my fianc\u00e9 and myself, I don\u2019t have to stress over securing tickets, because Verizon<\/a> is launching Verizon Ultimate Access and partnering with David Beckham to reward its customers with thousands of free tickets to every match, including the final(!). Also, Verizon is making it possible for us to get even closer<\/em> to the action by offering select \u201cGolden Tickets,\u201d Willy Wonka-style, for unprecedented, once-in-a-lifetime pitchside access \u2014 a space traditionally, exclusively reserved for players and coaches (my fianc\u00e9 would freak<\/em>).\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not just tickets either. Through Ultimate Access, there will be opportunities for customers to partake in unique experiences: on-the-ground activations, giveaways, player meet-and-greets (Verizon has teamed up with a roster of legends like Tim Howard and Chucky Lozano), special events, and more.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I\u2019m told that World Cup tickets are nearly impossible to get (akin to winning the lottery), which is why it\u2019s important to set your alarms, pencil it in your calendar, do whatever you need to do, because free tickets are available starting October 2 through the My Verizon app<\/a> (more dates will be announced on social media<\/a>).
