Questions
When is the Arabian Gulf Cup 2026 and where is it played?
Gulf Cup 27, also called Khaleeji 27, runs from 23 September to 6 October 2026 in Jeddah. Every match is at King Abdullah Sports City Stadium in the north of the city or Prince Abdullah Al-Faisal Stadium in the southeast. The final is at King Abdullah Sports City on 6 October.
Which teams are in Group A and Group B?
Group A is Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Oman and Kuwait. Group B is the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain and Yemen. Bahrain arrive as holders, having beaten Oman 2-1 in the 2025 final in Kuwait.
How do I buy Gulf Cup 27 tickets?
Tickets went on sale on 18 August 2026 through the Arab Gulf Cup Football Federation ticketing website and the GFF Tickets app. Every ticket is digital and each fan can buy up to six per match. Buy only through the federation, not from resale listings you cannot trace.
Which ground will my team play at?
Pick your team in the planner above and each of its three group matches shows its ground and kick-off time. Six of the eight teams play at both grounds, so do not book a hotel around one stadium until you know which matches you are going to.
Do I need a visa to travel to Saudi Arabia for the Gulf Cup?
Entry requirements depend on your nationality, so check Saudi Arabia’s official visa portal before you book anything. Our Saudi Arabia fan entry guide walks through the options for a football trip.

How these figures were produced
- Each nation is priced for its own group stage: in the day before its first match, out the day after its third. Group A flies 22 to 30 September, Group B 23 September to 1 October.
- Fares are one adult, economy, return, read on a single market so the eight origins are comparable with each other rather than each priced in its own market. Every fare is a lowest-available snapshot, not a quote.
- Room rates are two adults in one room for three nights from 23 September, filtered to four stars or better and a guest score of 8.0 or better, then sorted by straight-line distance to that ground.
- Distance to each ground is recomputed from the property’s own coordinates. The feed’s own distance-to-centre field is measured from a point south of Jeddah and puts a hotel ten minutes from the corniche nearly forty kilometres out.
- No return itinerary came back from Sanaa or Aden for the Yemen window, so that panel carries no fare rather than a substitute from another city.
- Ticket prices are the federation’s own, in Saudi riyals. They are the one figure on this page not converted to USD, because that is the currency they are sold in.
