How does playing poker to win tickets — make that VIP tickets — to watch the Canadian soccer team compete in the 2026 FIFA World Cup sound?
Poker players in Canada on WPT Global have a shot to win a dream package simply by qualifying through online poker play. If you win, you will receive VIP tickets to your choice of three Group B games involving Canada, either against Bosnia & Herzegovina (June 12), Qatar (June 18) or Switzerland (June 24).
World Cup Ticket for free?
Yes, that headline is no joke. You can purchase a World Cup ticket for just $0, but there’s a bit more to it. You can’t log into a ticket brokerage and get a seat for nothing. Instead, if you head over to WPT Global and enter the Canada-only freerolls at 4 p.m. ET every Sunday, you can work your way up to the VIP ticket.
There will be one VIP ticket awarded for each Canada team World Cup match. The entry fee to the contest is free, but if you’d prefer to skip to Round 2 and just pay $3.30 to enter, you can choose that option as well.
Round 1 — the freerolls — will award four $3.30 tickets and one $33 ticket. The $3.30 tournaments, running twice daily, will give out at least two entries into the $33 level. Once you’ve hit the next step — the Semi-Final — there will be one daily ticket into the $330 Final round awarded.
The winner of the Final round tournaments, the first on May 31 for the game against Bosnia, will get a VIP ticket to the World Cup, the biggest soccer event in the world.
All this is possible through WPT Global, a leading global online poker site backed by the World Poker Tour (WPT) brand. The site is home to some of the juiciest tournaments and cash games in the world and has become an industry leader over the past few years.
The 2026 FIFA World Cup will feature 48 countries and 104 matches across 16 cities, with the finals taking place at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. Canadian soccer fans who also enjoy poker can use their poker skills to get into the World Cup and support Canada’s team on WPT Global.
