American Airlines and FIFA World Cup 26™ are putting AAdvantage®members in the starting lineup for FIFA World Cup 26™ match tickets. Starting Oct. 13, AAdvantage®members can redeem AAdvantage® miles for exclusive access to all FIFA World Cup 2026™ matches. Members can save the date to get first access to redeem miles and lock in their seats for the world’s largest soccer matches.

“As the Official North American Airline Supplier of FIFA World Cup 26™, American is proud to help our AAdvantage® members be some of the first fans to score tickets to these iconic matches,” said Scott Long, American’s Senior Vice President of AAdvantage®. “Our partnership with FIFA is just one of many ways we’re delivering meaningful value and unforgettable experiences to our most loyal customers, especially as we look ahead to American’s centennial year, which coincides with FIFA World Cup 26.”

Here’s how it works

AAdvantage® members will have early access to redeem miles for all match tickets through American based on their status level:

  • Oct. 13 — AAdvantage Executive Platinum® status and ConciergeKey® members
  • Oct. 14 — AAdvantage Gold® status, AAdvantage Platinum® status and AAdvantage Platinum Pro®status members
  • Oct. 15 — All AAdvantage® members

In April, the airline announced its sponsorship as the Official North American Airline Supplier of the FIFA World Cup 26™, in partnership with Qatar Airways, the Official Global Airline Partner of FIFA. The partnership underscores FIFA’s commitment to working with industry leaders to ensure that the FIFA World Cup 26™ sets new standards in terms of access, scale and fan experience. Through this partnership, American will promote additional perks, offers and engagement opportunities throughout the year around FIFA World Cup 26™. The tournament will be hosted in North America across 16 vibrant Host Cities throughout Canada, Mexico and the U.S. This will be the largest and most inclusive FIFA World Cup™ in history, where 48 teams will compete for the title of world champion.
