Total Wireless Is Hiding FIFA World Cup 2026™ Tickets in Plain Sight

These Street Flyers Might Actually Be Your Ticket to the FIFA World Cup 2026™

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--As excitement builds for the FIFA World Cup 2026™, Total Wireless is taking an unexpected, community-first approach to connecting fans with one of the biggest sporting events in the world.

"The biggest moments in sports belong to everyone, and we’re proud to help bring fans closer to them, delivering the magic of the game to everyday fans," said Susie Corona, Associate Vice President and Head of Marketing and Brand Strategy for Verizon Value

Rather than relying on traditional giveaways, the brand is turning everyday neighborhood spaces into opportunities for discovery. Across major host cities — including New York, Miami, Houston, and Los Angeles — Total Wireless is posting street flyers designed to look like ordinary community notices. But these aren’t just flyers — they’re tickets in disguise.

Each flyer features tear-off tabs that can be redeemed for a chance to attend a FIFA World Cup 2026™ match, transforming a simple walk down the street into a moment of possibility for fans.

And to kick off the campaign, Total Wireless quietly surprised real soccer fans across New York City last month with tickets to the FIFA World Cup 2026™, a moment captured in this spot produced in partnership by The Community.

How it Works

The experience is intentionally simple and accessible: Now, New York City fans can begin searching for flyers posted across select neighborhoods.

  • Starting April 13, the hunt expands to Miami, Houston, and Los Angeles.
  • Spot a flyer, pull a tab and head to a participating Total Wireless retail location.
  • A store associate will scan the tab’s unique QR code and eligible recipients will electronically receive two tickets to a FIFA World Cup 2026™ match hosted in their city.

There’s no contest entry process, no fine print, and no app download required — just a straightforward, real-world interaction designed to meet fans where they are.

“For many, the chance to attend the FIFA World Cup is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity — and we believe more fans should have the chance to experience it,” said Susie Corona, Associate Vice President and Head of Marketing and Brand Strategy for Verizon Value. “Total Wireless has always been about connecting people to the moments that matter most. The biggest moments in sports belong to everyone, and we’re proud to help bring fans closer to them, delivering the magic of the game to everyday fans.”

Customer Sweepstakes The opportunity doesn’t end when the flyers are gone

But the access doesn't end when the flyers run out. From April 8 through May 31, Total Rewards members get the chance to win tickets to matches across all tournament host cities, including a pair of tickets to the FIFA World Cup 2026™ Final in New York City on July 19.

Fans can enter by visiting totalwireless.com/FIFAsweepstakes or stopping by any of the more than 2,000 Total Wireless stores nationwide. Entrants must be new or existing Total Wireless customers enrolled in Total Rewards, with one entry permitted per customer per day.

Bringing the FIFA World Cup 2026™ to Local Communities

Total Wireless isn’t just bringing fans to the FIFA World Cup 2026™ — it’s bringing the FIFA World Cup 2026™ to fans. In addition to the flyer activation and sweepstakes, the brand is hosting FIFA World Cup 2026™-themed events at select Total Wireless retail locations nationwide. These events will feature player appearances, exclusive merchandise, and giveaways — including the motorola razr FIFA World Cup 26™ Edition — bringing the tournament straight to fans’ neighborhoods.

Together, these efforts reflect Total Wireless’ broader commitment to making iconic experiences more accessible. By removing barriers and reimagining how fans engage with major moments, the brand is ensuring that the excitement of the FIFA World Cup 2026™ reaches beyond stadiums and into neighborhoods across the country.
