NEW YORK — Verizon, the Official Telecommunication Services Sponsor for FIFA World Cup 2026, announced today its largest free ticket giveaway for Verizon customers, offering over 2,500 free tickets across 64 matches in all U.S. host cities. The tickets will be available on a first-come, first-served basis through Verizon Access in the My Verizon app on June 1 at 3:00 PM ET / 2:00 PM CT / 12:00 PM PT. To mark the occasion, Verizon debuted a new commercial featuring David Beckham, who returns to show fans how Verizon provides "Ultimate Access" to the tournament.
“At Verizon, we’re obsessed with giving our customers access and experiences that are above and beyond,” said Leslie Berland, Chief Marketing Officer, Verizon. “This is our biggest FIFA World Cup ticket drop yet for the most highly anticipated sporting event. And with perks like Fox One, we’re making it easy for our customers to watch the game.”
