The FIFA World Cup 2026 is scheduled to run from June 11 to July 19 this year, and it will be hosted across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Many carriers and phone manufacturers are using this opportunity to soft launch interesting deals and products. So you may want to remain alert for the best ones. The latest offer is from Visible, and here's what to expect.
Mouthwatering passes await you
The World Cup is a global event where millions of people will be leaving their home countries to follow their teams. They would need fast and reliable connectivity for maps, tickets, messaging, or just staying in touch with loved ones to share updates.
Visible is making it possible for you to avoid roaming charges or hunting for local SIMs at the airport when you can activate an eSIM before you even leave base.
The carrier has introduced a travel-focused electronic SIM pass that customers have already started pre-ordering since March 25.
You can activate an eSIM instantly and get coverage on Verizon’s standard 5G and its faster 5G Ultra Wideband is supported, since they're owned by the network.
Pick a short duration of 7, 14, 30, or 45 days and pay upfront, then you’re all set to go. The price breakdown is as follows:
- 7-day passes: $15 during pre-order, then $25 normally.
- 14-day pass is $25 pre-order, then $35.
- 30-day pass is $35 pre-order, then $45.
- 45-day pass is $45 pre-order, then $55.
These prices all include unlimited texting with a set amount of international calling minutes to over 200 countries. The lowest is 90 minutes on the 7-day pass, with the highest being 500 minutes on the 45-day pass.
The longer the pass, the more time you get. They'll return to normal when play begins June 11. There are neither contracts nor commitments to hold you down. Visit the official website to choose a plan.
Sweepstakes for you to sweep home
Visible’s discounted passes will serve you greatly if you're already a customer traveling within the US during the World Cup, and not if you’re a non-customer.
You’d have to switch or sign up just to use it, and there are already other eSIM providers like Airalo or Holafly that don’t require you to commit to a specific carrier.
However, a sweepstakes is another opportunity for you to grab the best offers from the carrier. There's one from April 8 to May 31 for existing customers. The prize is two tickets to one FIFA World Cup 2026 match.
As expected, you have to be a Visible customer and be a legal US resident who is 18 years or older, or 19 in some states like Alabama and Nebraska.
You don’t need to pay to enter. It’s free.
But if you win, they’re only giving tickets. Travel and accommodation are not included, so you’d handle flights, hotel, and other factors yourself. You can enter once per day. Keep an eye on the sweepstake webpage so you don't miss it when it starts.
