What is the England Supporters Travel Club and how does it work?
The England Supporters Travel Club (ESTC) is the FA's official membership scheme for Three Lions fans to get priority access to England home tickets, plus exclusive access to away and tournament matches.
This makes it the best way to follow England at a major tournament or in away fixtures. Fans within the ESTC earn 'caps' for each match they attend, and the more caps you have, the better your chances of being allocated tickets for over-subscribed matches.
The FA give 70 per cent of the allocation for away matches to those with the most caps, with the remaining 30 per cent going to the remaining fans.

While specific details of the allocation for the next major tournament, the 2026 World Cup in the USA, Canada and Mexico, have not yet been announced, this is likely to be the only way to get England tickets from the FA's allocation.

Membership for the 2024-2026 period is now open and costs £85 for new adult members and £35 for juniors. Get more details here.
