AT&T Stadium hosts more FIFA World Cup 2026 matches than any other venue on earth — five group stage showdowns, two knockout rounds, and a semifinal. Here’s the complete schedule and everything you need to know before you go.
This summer, the biggest sporting event on the planet lands in your backyard. The 2026 FIFA World Cup — the first-ever 48-team World Cup, spanning 16 host cities across the United States, Canada, and Mexico — comes to North Texas, and Arlington’s AT&T Stadium is hosting more matches than any other venue in the entire tournament.
Nine matches. Defending champions Argentina — twice. England. The Netherlands. Japan. Croatia. A semifinal on July 14. And a stadium that will carry a new name for the duration: Dallas Stadium.
If you’ve been waiting for a reason to experience something truly once-in-a-generation, this is it.

Why Arlington Is the Center of the World Cup Univers
AT&T Stadium — temporarily renamed Dallas Stadium for FIFA branding during the tournament — is home to the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys and features a retractable roof, massive video screens, and a capacity of 80,000 to 94,000 for soccer configurations, making it one of the premier venues in the entire tournament and a key hub for star-studded action with powerhouses like Argentina, England, and the Netherlands.
No other stadium in the 2026 World Cup hosts more matches. No other venue in Texas — or North America — carries the combined weight of the group stage matchups, the knockout drama, and the semifinal stage that Dallas Stadium will hold this summer. What happens on this field will shape the tournament.
What Else Is Happening Around the Matches
Perfectly positioned between Dallas and Fort Worth, Arlington delivers an experience that goes far beyond the match — from high-energy watch parties to standout dining, live music, and must-see attractions. It’s your home base for celebration, connection, and nonstop excitement throughout the tournament.
The Dallas area is also hosting a FIFA Fan Fest at Fair Park, which will be active throughout the tournament with giant screens, cultural programming, food, music, and free public activities on days when matches are not being played at the stadium.
Also in Texas — Houston Gets World Cup Matches Too
Houston is also a FIFA World Cup 2026 host city, with matches at NRG Stadium throughout June. Houston’s schedule includes Portugal vs. DR Congo, Portugal vs. Uzbekistan, Netherlands vs. Sweden, and a Round of 29 knockout match. For the full Houston schedule, visit the FIFA website or the Houston World Cup hub.
Tickets and How to Get There
Tickets for all matches at Dallas Stadium are available through FIFA.com — the official and only authorized source. Resale and third-party ticket sites carry significant risk of fraud during major international tournaments. Always purchase through official channels.
AT&T Stadium sits in Arlington between Dallas and Fort Worth, with easy freeway access from I-30 and Highway 360. Rideshare is the recommended mode of transportation for match days, as parking demand will be extraordinary. Plan to arrive early — international World Cup crowds move differently than a typical NFL Sunday, with fans arriving hours before kickoff for the pre-match atmosphere.
