Cubs fans can register Wednesday at 10 a.m. CT at cubs.com/postseason for a chance at 2026 playoff tickets through the Fly the W lottery. Here's how it works.
Chicago Cubs fans can start registering Wednesday for a chance to buy select 2026 postseason tickets at Wrigley Field.
Registration for the 'Fly the W' presale opens Sept. 9 at 10 a.m. CT at cubs.com/postseason. Fans 18 or older submit an online form. The Cubs will pick registrants in a random drawing and email those selected with purchase instructions, timing, and ticket limits.
This is not a guaranteed sale. It is a lottery for leftover inventory after season-ticket holders.
Season-ticket holders
Current plan holders are billed separately. Postseason invoices can include up to 14 possible home games, depending on the plan. Tickets show up in the MLB Ballpark app near the end of the regular season. Unused games can be refunded or applied as credit toward a 2027 renewal.
Story continues below.
A 20% nonrefundable deposit on 2027 season tickets is due by 5 p.m. CT Sept. 9 if a holder skips postseason tickets or takes a refund on unplayed games.
Another path: 2027 deposit
The Cubs are also offering access to buy half of the potential 2026 home playoff games to fans who put down a nonrefundable $1,000 deposit on a 2027 full- or half-season plan. That option is listed on the team's tickets page.
What to do Wednesday
Go to cubs.com/postseason at 10 a.m. CT Sept. 9. Fill out the form (must be 18+). Watch email for drawing results and, if selected, presale windows and limits. Season-ticket holders should use their My Cubs Tickets account and invoice, not the public lottery.
The Cubs have not yet announced a general public on-sale date. Secondary market listings will appear if Chicago clinches. Registration is the first official window for non-plan holders.
