UEFA's capacity figures, rounded. Sponsor names are replaced during UEFA tournaments, so some grounds appear under a tournament name. Belfast's Casement Park was dropped as a venue, so Northern Ireland, part of the joint bid, stages no matches.

How to buy

Tickets

Fan alert

Official channels only

Official tickets are sold only by UEFA, and resale is allowed only on UEFA's own platform at face value. Anyone selling Euro 2028 tickets today is not selling real tickets.
  • Sales open after the final tournament draw, which UEFA expects in December 2027. General sales start with a ballot, not first come, first served.
  • Prices are announced in autumn 2027. UEFA says pricing will not be dynamic and more than 40% of tickets will be in the cheapest categories.
  • About three million tickets in total. Each group match keeps 10,000 seats for loyal supporters of the two teams, sold through their national associations.
  • Disabled fans pay the cheapest category's price and can ask for a free companion ticket.

Travel

Getting around

  • Good

    Eight of the nine stadiums are in Great Britain, on one intercity rail network. You can stay in one city and reach several grounds by train.

    Watch out

    The cheapest British rail fares are Advance tickets, tied to one train. Book them as soon as your match is fixed, and check for engineering works on match weekends.

  • Good

    Dublin is a short flight from every British host city, or a ferry from Holyhead in Wales.

    Watch out

    The UK and Ireland have separate entry rules. Many visitors need a UK electronic travel authorisation (ETA) and must check Ireland's rules on their own. Check both before you book.
