Registration is open for the England pre-World Cup friendlies in Tampa and Orlando; learn ticket allocations, prices and accessibility arrangements
The England squad will play two sanctioned warm-up matches in Florida ahead of the FIFA World Cup 2026™, and members of the England Supporters Travel Club (ESTC) can now register their interest. The first fixture sees the Three Lions take on New Zealand at the Raymond James Stadium in Tampa on Saturday 6 June (kick-off 4pm local / 9pm UK).
The second friendly is against Costa Rica at Inter&Co Stadium in Orlando on Wednesday 10 June (kick-off 4pm local / 9pm UK). Both fixtures form part of England’s south Florida training block before the squad relocates to Kansas City for the tournament.
This update explains the ticket allocations, pricing, accessibility options and the registration process for ESTC members. Please read the guidance carefully: registration for both matches will close at 11:59pm on Tuesday 14 April 2026. General public sales are scheduled to start from Thursday 16 April via the event organiser, and any tickets obtained outside of the ESTC allocation will not qualify for squad caps.
Match details and ESTC ticket allocation
England v New Zealand — Tampa
For the New Zealand fixture the official ESTC home end allocation is 3,776 tickets. The match will take place at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida with a 4pm local time kick-off on Saturday 6 June. Tickets provided through the ESTC for this match are Category 3 and priced at £23 plus local taxes, with the expected final cost around £30 once taxes and fees are applied.

England v Costa Rica — Orlando
The Orlando fixture carries an official ESTC home end allocation of 3,772 tickets at Inter&Co Stadium, kick-off 4pm local on Wednesday 10 June. ESTC Category 3 tickets are priced at £28 plus local taxes, with an expected final cost of around £35. As with the Tampa match, the Orlando allocation includes 10 wheelchair and 10 companion positions. Both matches will be collected in full in the host city; specific collection instructions will be published after the sale.
How to register and what to expect from the ballot
Only members of the 2026–2026 England Supporters Travel Club may register for these matches. Registration is open now and closes at 11:59pm on Tuesday 14 April 2026. Members can register themselves plus up to three other active club members (four people in total) using the registration page. You must be signed in to the ESTC site to access the form, and you will need the FAN number and date of birth for every member you add. During the registration window you may add or remove names up until the deadline; you will receive confirmation emails for your booking and for each additional member you include.
Ballot process and sale information
After registration closes, the ESTC will run a ballot to allocate its ticket stock. Ballot results will be communicated to registered members before the public sale window begins. General tickets will be sold by the event organiser from Thursday 16 April; sale dates and times for additional categories will be confirmed in due course. Important: tickets purchased outside of the ESTC allocation will not be eligible for official squad caps that the club awards for attendance.
Accessibility, seating options and changes to registrations
If you need a wheelchair space and a companion ticket, be sure to tick the ‘wheelchair user’ box when completing the registration form. Easy-access seating requests are handled slightly differently: registrants will be sent a follow-up form asking whether they require easy access as this can change from match to match. The ESTC will manage these requests manually to ensure appropriate placements. Please note that wheelchair/easy-access tickets are part of the main registration link and do not require a separate application.
Seating-only section and ticket collection
There will be a trial seating-only section for supporters who prefer not to stand for the full match. After the sale, all ticket holders will receive a form where they can apply to be placed in this area; allocation will be subject to availability. Both fixtures will use a full collection process in the host city — details about when and where to collect tickets will be shared by the ESTC after the ballot and sale are complete. Keep an eye on official communications for precise instructions to avoid delays on matchday.
Unregistering and group changes
If your plans change before the registration deadline, please remove yourself from the ballot so another member has the opportunity to obtain a ticket. You may remove any guest from your group by selecting the red ‘X’ next to their name on the registration page. If the original lead booker can no longer attend, the recommended approach is for them to delete the entire group entry and for members to re-register under a new lead to ensure ballots are accurate.
Further updates on stadium entry requirements, ticket collection points and any additional matchday guidance will be issued by the ESTC in due course. The registration link for both matches is provided at the bottom of the official ESTC update; please check eligibility and your availability before applying to support the Three Lions in Tampa and Orlando.
