Soccer's world governing body FIFA said that due to anticipated high demand tickets would be released in phases.
It did not say if it would use dynamic pricing, as was the case for the Club World Cup, which saw ticket prices fluctuate wildly.
'We're looking forward to welcoming the world back to North America, as Canada, Mexico and the United States host what will be the biggest and greatest sporting event ever," FIFA president Gianni Infantino said in a statement. 'We encourage fans everywhere to get ready to secure their place — these will be the most coveted seats in world sport.'

GFFN Ligue 1 Guide 25/26
Download your 74-page GFFN Guide to the 2025/26 Ligue 1 season HERE Paris Saint-Germain's rivals approach this season a little deflated. They already knew that they were competing with comfortably the best team in France and one that, financially speaking, were on a superior plane. Les Parisiens' UEFA Champions League triumph has only hammered home the disparities and reinforced their sense of untouchability. They are no longer just the best team in France, or the best team in Europe, but the world; their defeat to Chelsea in the Club World Cup final does not alter that perception and nor should it. PSG's rivals no longer talk about breaching the vast chasm that separates the reigning Ligue 1 champions from the chasing pack. Olympique de Marseille speak of competing 'with PSG better', but not surpassing them, despite once again going big in the transfer window. AS Monaco, meanwhile, have set out their stall. 'We want to be back in second in Ligue 1,' said the club's CEO Thiago Scuro. These clubs, the two closest to Les Parisiens in what it feels is becoming an increasingly tiered league, aren't lacking in ambition; their analysis is one that simply recognises the state of French football and their capacity within the current context, to dethrone a behemoth, whose talent on the pitch and financial means off of it cannot be matched. Olympique Lyonnais' ability to make inroads has been hampered by a period of austerity imposed by new president, Michelle Kang. OL are perhaps lucky to be in Ligue 1 at all, having seen their administrative relegation to Ligue 2 ultimately overturned. But their survival comes at a cost, and their sporting ambitions have been downgraded, even if Paulo Fonseca has said that he is pleasantly surprised by Lyon's transfer window thus far. Lille aren't in an overwhelmingly strong financial position either, and so have not had funds to replace the big-name departees, Jonathan David, Angel Gomes, Lucas Chevalier, and Bafodé Diakité. Edon Zhegrova could also depart before the end of the transfer window, and so they approach the upcoming Ligue 1 season in a weaker position than they concluded the last. OGC Nice too lack funds to replenish their stock and have lost Marcin Bulka and Evann Guessand over the summer. Franck Haise overperformed with his squad last season, and he will have to do so again. PSG haven't been overactive in the window, even if their two arrivals, Chevalier and Illia Zabarnyi, are also two of the most expensive bits of business in Ligue 1 this summer. But regardless, many of their rivals are not in a position to close the gap. Nor is the prospect of a new challenger, at least for now. Paris FC will be a team to follow closely this year. Promoted to Ligue 1, they play the role of noisy neighbours. Even if their short-term objective will simply be to survive in Ligue 1, they have the funds, in the extremely moneyed Arnault family, and the nous, through the Red Bull partnership, to cause a stir in French football. Their ability to do that will be known only in the long term, but in the meantime, PSG can rest easy. A fifth-consecutive Ligue 1 title beckons for Luis Enrique's side. GFFN | Luke Entwistle

Asian shares mostly gain after uptick in inflation pulls US stocks lower
MANILA, Philippines (AP) — Asian are mostly higher after most stocks on Wall Street fell following a disappointing report that said inflation was worse last month at the U.S. wholesale level than economists had expected. U.S. futures rose while oil prices slipped. China reported data showing its economy was feeling pressure from higher U.S. tariffs in July, while property investments fell further. Retail sales rose 3.7% year-on-year, down from 4.8% in June, while investments in factory equipment and other fixed assets rose a meager 1.6%, compared with 2.8% growth in January-June. Uncertainty over tariffs on exports to the United States is still looming over manufacturers after President Donald Trump extended a pause in sharp hikes in import duties for 90 days following a 90-day pause that began in May. The Shanghai Composite index added 0.5% to 3,683.58, but Hong Kong's Hang Seng index fell 1.2% to 25,216.45. 'Chinese economic activity slowed across the board in July, with retail sales, fixed asset investment, and value added of industry growth all reaching the lowest levels of the year. After a strong start, several months of cooling momentum suggest that the economy may need further policy support,' ING Economics said in a market commentary. In Japan, the Nikkei 225 gained 1.2% to 43,152.55 after the government reported that the economy grew at a 1% annual pace in the April-June quarter. That was better than analysts had expected. Elsewhere in Asia, South Korea's Kospi edged less than 0.1% higher to 3,225.66. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 rose 0.4% to 8,909.20. Taiwan's TAIEX gained 0.3%. Attention later Friday will likely focus on an update on U.S. retail sales and on a meeting between President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. On Thursday, seven out of every 10 stocks within the S&P 500 fell, though the index edged up by less than 0.1% to set another all-time high. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dipped 11 points, or less than 0.1%, and the Nasdaq composite fell less than 0.1% from its record set the day before. The inflation report said that prices jumped 3.3% last month at the U.S. wholesale level from a year earlier. That was well above the 2.5% rate that economists had forecast, and it could hint at higher inflation ahead for U.S. shoppers as higher costs make their way through the system. The data led traders to second guess their widespread consensus that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates at its next meeting in September. Lower rates can boost investment prices and the economy by making it cheaper for U.S. households and businesses to borrow to buy houses, cars or equipment, but they also risk worsening inflation. Higher interest rates drag on all kinds of companies by keeping the cost to borrow high. They can hurt smaller companies in particular because they often need to borrow to grow. The Russell 2000 index of smaller U.S. stocks tumbled a market-leading 1.2%. Thursday's disappointing data followed an encouraging update earlier in the week on prices at the consumer level. A separate report on Thursday, meanwhile, said fewer U.S. workers applied for unemployment benefits last week. That's a good sign for workers, indicating that layoffs remain relatively low at a time when job openings have become more difficult to find. But a solid job market could also give the Fed less reason to cut interest rates in the short term. Big Tech stocks helped mask Wall Street's losses. Amazon rose 2.9% to add to its gains from the prior day when it announced same-day delivery of fresh groceries in more than 1,000 cities and towns. Because Amazon is so huge, with a market value of $2.45 trillion, the movements for its stock carry much more weight on the S&P 500 than the typical company's. In other dealings early Friday, U.S. benchmark crude lost 16 cents to $63.80 per barrel. Brent crude, the international standard, fell 13 cents to $66.71 per barrel. The dollar edged lower to 147.14 Japanese yen early from 147.20 yen. The euro rose to $1.1665 from $1.1654.
