World Cup referees earn $100K per two games
It is expected that match officials in the 2026 World Cup will earn around $100,000, according to media estimates, for officiating fewer than two matches on average during the tournament. The International Football Association relies on a variable salary system that includes fixed fees and bonuses based on the number of matches officiated and the rounds advanced. There are 170 referees participating in the tournament, which will be held in the United States, Mexico, and Canada. These salaries reflect the tremendous responsibility placed on the referees, especially with the increasing use of Video Assistant Referee (VAR) technology, which heightens the pressure on officiating decisions.
