2026 World Cup Matches in Dallas

At AT&T Stadium in Arlington, just a stone’s throw from Dallas, the 2026 World Cup will be celebrated in style: matches like the Netherlands vs. Japan, Argentina vs. Austria, and England vs. Croatia will be played here—three games that promise a packed stadium and pure excitement. It’s the perfect destination to combine soccer, travel, and the vibrant spirit of Texas.

These are the 2026 World Cup matches in Dallas–Arlington (Texas) that will be played at AT&T Stadium, one of the most modern and spectacular stadiums in the world:

Arlington’s AT&T Stadium is one of the great temples of sport: a retractable roof, over 80,000 seats expandable to 100,000, and a suspended video scoreboard over 50 meters long that dominates the interior of the venue. Everything is designed for the spectacle: powerful acoustics, steeply sloped stands, and a spacious hospitality area that makes you feel like a VIP from the moment you walk through the door.

How to get to AT&T Stadium

• By car or taxi: about 25–30 minutes from Dallas or Fort Worth via I-30 or TX-360.
• Rideshare: Services like Uber and Lyft have designated pickup and drop-off zones.
• Special public transportation: On game days, there are usually buses and shuttles connecting to major stations.
• From the airports: DFW Airport is about 20 minutes away, while Dallas Love Field is approximately 30 minutes by car.

Stadium sections and approximate price ranges

• End zones: the most economical option in soccer-style seating, ideal for soaking up the fan atmosphere. Approximate price: €110–220.
• Side stands: good view of the field and a balance between proximity and comfort. Approximate price: €220–380.
• Center stands and Club sections: better tactical view and a more exclusive experience. Approximate price: €380–650.
• VIP boxes and hospitality areas: premium spaces with catering and personalized service, designed for special occasions. Approximate price: €700–2,000 per person for top-tier matches.

Gates typically open 2 to 3 hours before kickoff; ideally, arrive at least 60–90 minutes early to soak up the atmosphere and avoid lines at entrances and restrooms.

Keep in mind that these ranges are approximate: prices may vary depending on the stadium section, the matchup, the stage of the World Cup, and demand for each match. If you want to experience the tournament with added comfort, you’ll also find VIP and Hospitality options, featuring premium seating and exclusive services.

In Dallas-Arlington, Dallas Stadium will be one of the major hubs 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 at 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 none other than one of the semifinals of the 2026 World Cup.

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

• Take note of the stadium: matches will be played at AT&T Stadium (which will be called “Dallas Stadium” during the tournament), a top-tier, modern venue ready to host many key matches.
• Arrive early: since Arlington will host up to nine World Cup matches, including decisive rounds and a semifinal, it’s best to arrive ahead of time to avoid rushing, long lines, or unexpected delays.
• Immerse yourself in the World Cup atmosphere: the city and surrounding areas will offer fan zones, bars packed with fans, a mix of cultures, and the perfect atmosphere to experience the tournament even off the field.
• Plan your accommodations and logistics now: hotels and transportation will fill up fast—choose your location and access to the stadium wisely to get around comfortably.
• Enjoy Dallas-Arlington beyond soccer: between matches, you’ll have the chance to explore the city, its cultural offerings, entertainment, and Texan hospitality while mingling with fans from all over the world.

And one essential thing: the stadium will have separate zones — one for fans of one national team, one for the other, and a neutral zone where fans of different teams mix. It’s crucial to buy the correct ticket (category, section, and zone): if you enter the wrong section, you may be relocated or denied access for security reasons. Double-check the section and zone before paying for your ticket.

Watching a match at AT&T Stadium is just part of the trip. Dallas-Arlington and the surrounding area offer much more than soccer.

Some must-do activities:

• Stroll through Texas Live!, a complex filled with restaurants and bars just a short walk 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 with sightseeing. Texas has plenty to offer before and after every match.
