Ticket rush begins for AFC Women’s Asian Cup Australia 2026™

The countdown to the biggest celebration of women’s football in Asia is well and truly on, and fans have wasted no time getting involved. Thousands of eager supporters jumped online the moment tickets went on sale at 10am AEST this morning, highlighting the incredible demand for the AFC Women’s Asian Cup Australia 2026™.

This first ticket release features Multi-Match Packs, which launched today with an exclusive Visa cardholder pre-sale. General public sales will open 25 July 2025.

Fans from every state and territory across Australia have already snapped up tickets to matches in host cities Perth, Gold Coast and Sydney from 1–21 March, demonstrating the power of women’s football to draw nationwide interest and the willingness of fans to invest in the biggest women’s football tournament in our region. Sales span all categories, with supporters taking full advantage of the wide range of options on offer.

Ticketing for this tournament has been designed with fans in mind, offering greater choice, flexibility and the ability to select seats from the get-go for some of the tournament’s biggest moments. While this personalised experience means wait times have been longer than typical single-match sales, fans are being rewarded with the chance to lock in their preferred seats and match combinations at fixed prices as well as accessing tickets to the Final.

With such strong demand, queues are expected to remain busy throughout the pre-sale period, and fans are encouraged to be patient and persistent. Tickets remain available for general public sales from 25 July, so everyone will have the opportunity to secure their spot at this historic tournament.

We also want to thank our dedicated fans and supporters who queued early and waited patiently to secure their seats. Your passion and commitment are helping make this tournament something truly special.

Multi-Match Packs give fans the chance to secure their seats early and experience the very best of the tournament. Whether it’s combining Australia’s matches with knockout thrillers, locking in a stadium series, or building your own flexible three-game experience these packs offer fans unprecedented choice and value. Fans can see hometown heroes, Australia, plus two additional Group Stage matches from just $80 for adults and $45 for children.

The Final Draw for the AFC Women’s Asian Cup Australia 2026™ will be held at Sydney’s iconic Town Hall on 29 July, with single-match tickets to be released later this year.

Fans are encouraged to register here for priority ticket access for future ticket release phases.
