In Dallas-Arlington, Dallas Stadium will be one of the major focal points of the World Cup. Teams from three different groups with very different histories will pass through here: England and Croatia (Group L), Argentina, Austria, and Jordan (Group J), and the Netherlands and Japan (Group F). Not all of them will face each other, but they will share the stage in one of the largest and most spectacular stadiums of the tournament.

Dallas-Arlington will be one of the major "capitals" of the tournament: Dallas Stadium will host five group stage matches, as well as two Round of 32 matches, one Round of 16 match, and no less than one of the 2026 World Cup semifinals.

Arlington (Dallas area) will become one of the epicenters of the 2026 World Cup: its population, bars, cosmopolitan atmosphere, and the enormous size of the stadium promise an unforgettable experience. The streets, accommodations, and entertainment venues will be filled with soccer, national team jerseys, and an international atmosphere.

• Take note of the stadium: the matches will be played at AT&T Stadium (which will be called "Dallas Stadium" during the tournament), a first-class, modern venue ready to host many key matches.
• Arrive early: since Arlington will host up to nine World Cup matches, including decisive stages and a semifinal, it is advisable to arrive in advance to avoid rushes, queues, or unforeseen events.
• Immerse yourself in the World Cup atmosphere: the city and its surroundings will offer fan zones, bars full of fans, a mix of cultures, and an ideal atmosphere to experience the tournament even off the pitch.
• Plan your accommodation and logistics now: hotels and transportation will fill up quickly—choose your location and access to the stadium carefully so you can get around easily.
• Enjoy Dallas-Arlington beyond soccer: between matches, you'll have the opportunity to explore the city, its cultural offerings, entertainment, and Texan hospitality while mingling with fans from all over the world.

And something essential: there will be different areas in the stadium— an area for fans of one team, an area for the other, and a neutral area where fans of different teams mix. It is essential to buy the correct ticket (category, sector, and zone): if you enter the wrong stand, you may be relocated or denied access for security reasons. Check the sector and zone carefully before paying for your ticket.

Watching a game at AT&T Stadium is only part of the trip. Dallas-Arlington and its surroundings offer much more than soccer.

Some essential plans:

• Stroll through Texas Live!, a complex full of restaurants and bars just steps from the stadium.
• Visit Globe Life Field, home of the Texas Rangers.
• Spend an adrenaline-filled day at Six Flags Over Texas.
• Relax in the gardens of River Legacy Park.

Tip: combine soccer and tourism. Texas has a lot to offer before and after each game.
