The VISA presale draw will open at 11:00 AM ET and close on Friday Sept. 19.
FIFA ticketing will then begin notifying applicants of the results no earlier than Sept. 29, following a random selection process.
If selected, fans will then be given a date and time to purchase tickets, with slots starting on Oct. 1.
Following this first phase, FIFA will give fans additional opportunities to purchase tickets in upcoming phases this fall.
Although some fans won’t be able to purchase tickets this month, it takes them one step closer to the games, with six matches being hosted at BMO field in Toronto.
