Fever Hits New Jersey: $25 Warm-Up Match Tickets Released Amid Major Fan Accessibility Push
HARRISON, N.J. — June 1, 2026 — With the world's biggest soccer tournament just weeks away, local organizers have launched a massive push to bring world-class international soccer to local fans at an unbeatable price.
The FIFA World Cup 2026™ NYNJ Host Committee, in partnership with Red Bull New York and a coalition of regional leaders, announced today that tickets for two upcoming international "friendly" warm-up matches at Sports Illustrated Stadium in Harrison, New Jersey, have been slashed to a flat, all-in rate of $25.
These highly anticipated matchups are part of the premier "Road to 26" international series, designed to showcase global squads as they make final preparations for the tournament.
The discounted $25 tickets—which are available for a limited time and include all taxes and fees—apply to the following double-header weekend fixtures:
Bolivia vs. Scotland – Saturday, June 6 at 4:00 PM ET
Morocco vs. Norway – Sunday, June 7 at 3:00 PM ET
International Heavyweights Collide in Harrison
The warm-up schedule features blockbuster narratives that are sure to draw passionate crowds to the 25,000-seat Sports Illustrated Stadium, home of Major League Soccer's Red Bull New York and the NWSL's NJ/NY Gotham FC.
The Saturday clash sees Scotland return to the world stage after an incredibly impressive UEFA qualifying run, marking their first major appearance since 1998. They will test their mettle against a formidable Bolivia side.
On Sunday, Morocco takes on a star-studded Norway team led by global icon Erling Haaland. The matchup marks a historical callback to the 1998 tournament, when the two countries played to a thrilling 2-2 draw during group-stage play.
A Broader Push for Accessibility: The Free Jersey Fan Hub
The discounted warm-up tickets are part of a broader, historic effort by regional leaders—including New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill, New York Governor Kathy Hochul, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, and Harrison Mayor James Fife—to keep World Cup excitement inclusive and affordable.
In addition to the $25 match ticket pricing, officials announced today that admission to the NYNJ World Cup 26 Jersey Fan Hub will be completely free of charge for all guests.
Hosted inside Sports Illustrated Stadium, the Jersey Fan Hub will transform the venue into a massive, live-broadcast viewing experience for 16 separate dates during the tournament. Opening for eight Group Stage dates (June 14 – June 26) and eight Knockout Stage dates (July 1 – July 15), the hub will feature:
Real-time tournament broadcasts on a massive, state-of-the-art 60-foot screen directly on the pitch.
Live music, entertainment, and interactive soccer activations.
The rare opportunity for fans to watch World Cup matches for free from the stadium floor of a professional soccer arena.
"This initiative reflects our shared commitment to ensuring that the unparalleled energy of the World Cup is accessible to every local soccer fan, family, and visitor," the NYNJ Host Committee shared in a joint statement. "We want to ensure that the excitement of this historic tournament is felt across our communities, stretching far beyond the stadium gates."
