Verizon Offers Free Tickets to FIFA World Cup 2026 Final to Customers and Small Businesses
Verizon is giving mobile and home customers, along with small businesses, chances to win tickets to the FIFA World Cup 2026 Final through a national ticket drop and a small business pitch competition.
Verizon is offering its mobile and home customers, as well as small businesses across the United States, the opportunity to win tickets to the FIFA World Cup 2026 Final. The announcement, made on April 28, 2026, highlights two main ways to secure tickets: a national ticket drop via Verizon Access and the Verizon Small Business Super Pitch Competition.
The national ticket drop provides Verizon mobile and home customers with a chance to claim tickets to the final match, scheduled for July 19 at the New York New Jersey Stadium. The drop occurs at 3 p.m. EST on April 28, 2026, on a first-come, first-serve basis through Verizon Access. Notably, travel and accommodations are not included in the prize.
For small business owners, the Verizon Small Business Super Pitch Competition offers an alternative route. The grand prize includes tickets to FIFA World Cup 2026 games, including the final, along with grant funding from Verizon. Eligible participants must be small business owners aged 18 or older from all 50 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico, or the U.S. Virgin Islands. They must also sign up for the free Verizon Small Business Digital Ready platform and complete one course or attend an event in the Winning Customers category between January 1 and May 18. Entries are accepted from April 27 until May 18 at 11:59 p.m. PT. Regional semi-finals will take place in late June, with the final live-pitch event on July 17. More details are available at verizonsuperpitch.com.
Additionally, from April 24 to May 15, 2026, select Verizon retail stores will offer in-store opportunities to win tickets. Interested shoppers can find participating stores by visiting VisitVerizonStores.com. For residents in Denver and Chicago, specific pages at VisitVerizonStores.com/Denver and VisitVerizonStores.com/Chicago provide localized information.
This initiative underscores Verizon's strategy to enhance customer loyalty and engage small businesses. By leveraging the global appeal of the FIFA World Cup, Verizon aims to strengthen its brand presence and foster community connections. The competition for tickets is likely to be intense, given the high demand for the final match. Verizon's move also highlights the growing trend of telecom companies using exclusive experiences to differentiate their offerings in a competitive market.
