When can I apply for the UEFA Euro 2024 tickets?

The tournament's tokens are exclusively delivered through the UEFA Euro Tickets app. Fans can only access matches using state-of-art digital passes.

The UEFA Euro ticket application process began on October 3, 2023, and ran until October 26, 2023, on the UEFA Euro tickets portal. Fans were required to order through the site, and the applications were submitted to the lottery for fairness and transparency. Fans who got passes in the lottery were informed on November 14, 2023.

Unlike the first sales window, the application for the second window was defined by individual countries and their associations. Fans who did not meet the association requirements were encouraged to apply for a public UEFA Euro tickets lottery before 14:00 CET, December 12, 2023.

Between March 21 and March 26, 2024, fans of three national teams that qualified for the 2024 playoffs purchased reserved passes. The same applies to those reserved for the kickoff stage matches.
