About the World Cup 2026 Third-Place Play-Off
The 2026 third-place play-off brings together France and England — two of the pre-tournament favourites who fell at the semi-final stage. France were beaten by Spain in Dallas and England by Argentina in Atlanta, and now the two European heavyweights meet at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami on July 18 to decide who finishes third.
A France vs England match is a marquee occasion in its own right, and this consolation final is the last chance to see two of the world's biggest teams before the tournament closes. If you are looking for France vs England third-place tickets, face-value prices or the best seats in Miami, live listings are below.
The Third-Place Play-Off is part of the knockout stage of the 2026 FIFA World Cup — football's first 48-team finals, co-hosted by the USA, Canada and Mexico. From here every game is win-or-go-home, the drama that makes knockout soccer the most-watched stage of the tournament. The road runs all the way to the WC 2026 final tickets.
The third-place play-off gives the two beaten semi-finalists one last game to finish on the podium — often an open, goal-filled contest between teams playing with freedom.
1 Third-Place Play-Off game is played on July 18, 2026 across host venues including Hard Rock. Because knockout matchups are only confirmed once the previous round is done, tickets are sold by bracket slot and venue first — so you can lock in seats for a Third-Place Play-Off game now and have them ready whichever teams come through.
Demand at this stage is intense: every fan whose team is still alive wants in, and the deeper the round the fewer games and seats there are. The biggest names and the loudest atmospheres of the whole tournament arrive in the knockouts, so securing seats early is the safest way to be there.

Third-Place Play-Off — what's at stake and what tickets cost
The third-place play-off is the World Cup's consolation final — the match between the two beaten semi-finalists, staged at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami on July 18, the day before the final itself. It is the last chance for two heartbroken sides to leave the tournament with a medal and a win, and historically these games are open, attacking affairs precisely because the weight of the title has lifted.
While it does not decide the champion, the third-place match is a genuine World Cup occasion — a global audience, two of the best four teams in the world, and a Miami crowd guaranteed a goal-filled send-off the day before the final. It is also one of the more attainable knockout tickets at this stage: a FIFA face value from $165 up to $1,070, well below the semi-final and final bands, making it a popular choice for fans who want a last-four-calibre match without last-four prices.
