Verizon Offers Free Tickets to FIFA World Cup 2026 Final Through Customer and Small Business Promotions

Verizon has announced a series of promotions offering free tickets to the FIFA World Cup 2026 Final, scheduled for July 19 at the New York New Jersey Stadium. The initiatives target Verizon mobile and home customers, as well as small business owners across the United States, in a move that underscores the company's strategy to enhance customer loyalty and support entrepreneurship.

The primary opportunity, known as the "FIFA World Cup 2026 Final Ticket Drop," is available through Verizon Access. Starting at 3 p.m. EST on April 28, 2026, Verizon mobile and home customers can claim tickets on a first-come, first-served basis. Travel and accommodations are not included in the prize. This national drop is expected to generate significant demand, as the World Cup Final is one of the most-watched sporting events globally.

In addition, Verizon is launching the Verizon Small Business Super Pitch Competition, which offers small business owners a chance to win tickets to multiple FIFA World Cup 2026 games, including the Final, along with grant funding. To enter, small business owners must be at least 18 years old, from any of the 50 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico, or the U.S. Virgin Islands, and must sign up for the free Verizon Small Business Digital Ready platform. They must also complete one course or attend at least one event in the Winning Customers category between January 1 and May 18. Entries are accepted from April 27 to May 18 at 11:59 p.m. PT. Regional semi-finals will take place in late June, and the final live-pitch event will be held on July 17. Full details and official rules are available at verizonsuperpitch.com.

For customers who missed the ticket drop or do not own a small business, select Verizon retail stores are offering additional opportunities to win tickets. From April 24 to May 15, 2026, shoppers can enter for a chance to win. Participating store locations can be found at VisitVerizonStores.com. Specific opportunities are available in Denver and Chicago, with details at VisitVerizonStores.com/Denver and VisitVerizonStores.com/Chicago.

These promotions are part of Verizon's broader effort to engage customers and support small businesses. By offering exclusive access to the World Cup Final, Verizon aims to strengthen its brand association with major events and provide tangible benefits to its customer base. The Small Business Super Pitch Competition also aligns with Verizon's commitment to fostering entrepreneurship through digital tools and funding.

The announcement was originally published by Verizon, which reported revenues of $138.2 billion in 2025. The company serves millions of customers worldwide and nearly all of the Fortune 500. For more information, visit verizon.com.
