What Is the Valvoline FIFA World Cup Sweepstakes?

Valvoline — the official motor oil of the 2026 FIFA World Cup — is running one of the biggest giveaways of the year. Called the Valvoline “For the Driven” Promotion, it gives fans across the US and Canada a chance to win a fully-paid trip for two to the 2026 FIFA World Cup Final on July 19, 2026 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

But that’s just the grand prize. There are also over 3,600 instant win prizes up for grabs — including full-size soccer balls, backpacks, baseball caps, scarves, tumblers, and more. Every time you play the instant win game, you could walk away with something.

“This is a private event — the FIFA World Cup Final. Tickets are not available for public sale. This sweepstakes is your shot at being there.” — Official Rules

The promotion is completely free to enter. No Valvoline purchase is required to get your base entry or to play the instant win game. You can earn bonus entries by buying Valvoline products or by referring friends — but neither is required to participate.

The sweepstakes is open to residents of the 50 United States, DC, Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands, and all 10 Canadian provinces. The grand prize entry period runs through May 31, 2026, while the instant win game continues through July 28, 2026.
