Euro 2028 tickets

At a European Championship, the organiser sells the tickets, not the host stadiums. The usual rules of a club ground, such as memberships, season tickets and loyalty points, do not decide who gets in: UEFA sets its own sale phases, prices and conditions, and publishes them through its official channels.

For recent tournaments, UEFA sold tickets through its own online portal, largely by ballot, and kept a share for supporters of each qualified team, who bought through their national association. Whether Euro 2028 follows the same pattern, and when, is for UEFA to confirm, so treat that as a guide rather than a timetable.

Getting ready

• Rely on UEFA's official ticketing announcements rather than social media posts or third-party reminders.
• If you follow a national team, find out what its association offers members at tournaments, since supporters' schemes generally set the order for a team's allocation.
• Expect digital tickets, often linked to the buyer's account or name, which can limit how they are passed on.

Hospitality is a separate market. At recent tournaments, packages with a seat, food and drink were sold through an official hospitality programme rather than in the public sale, at their own prices, so a package can be an option when standard seats have gone.

As at any Euro, the final and the semi-finals will be the hardest tickets to find, followed by the opening match and the knockout ties between the big footballing nations.

For UK fans, demand will centre on any games involving England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland or the Republic of Ireland, if they take part. Group matches between other nations are generally easier to reach, and can be a realistic way to see a tournament game in person without chasing the most sought-after dates.

None of these matches is in the table yet. They are added once the schedule is published and listings appear, and each row then shows its official status, so you can see at a glance whether UEFA's sale is open for that game.

Once matches are listed, each row shows the lowest resale listing seen on Hellotickets next to the official status, so you can check whether the official sale is still open before paying a resale price.

Prices on Hellotickets are chosen by the sellers, may be above face value, and the final price appears before you pay. On authenticity, Hellotickets says: "Every ticket is authenticated. If there's ever an issue, you're protected by our refund policy." Read the listing's delivery details, and keep in mind that the official sale, when it opens, is usually the cheaper route.

Plan around delivery as well. Hellotickets says tickets are sent "as soon as we receive them from the seller — sometimes up to 1–2 days before the event", which matters if you are travelling to another city for a group game, so keep travel and hotel bookings flexible until your ticket has arrived.
