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 such as Netherlands v Japan, Argentina v Austria and England v Croatia will be played here – three fixtures that promise a packed stadium and pure excitement. A perfect destination for combining football, travel and the vibrant spirit of Texas.

These are the 2026 World Cup matches in Dallas–Arlington (Texas) to 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 screen over 50 metres wide that dominates the interior of the venue. Everything is designed for the spectacle: powerful acoustics, steeply raked 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: around 25–30 minutes from Dallas or Fort Worth via the I-30 or TX-360 motorways.
• Rideshare: services such as Uber and Lyft have designated pick-up and drop-off points.
• Special public transport: on match days, there are usually buses and shuttles connecting to the main stations.
• From the airports: DFW Airport is about 20 minutes away, whilst Dallas Love Field is approximately 30 minutes’ drive away.

Stadium sections and approximate price ranges

• End zones: the most economical option in a football-style layout, ideal for soaking up the atmosphere of the fans. Approximate price: €110–220.
• Side stands: good view of the pitch and a balance between proximity and comfort. Approximate price: €220–380.
• Central stand and Club areas: the best tactical view and a more exclusive experience. Approximate price: €380–650.
• VIP boxes and hospitality: premium spaces with catering and personalised service, designed for special occasions. Approximate price: €700–2,000 per person for top-tier matches.

Stadium gates usually open 2–3 hours before kick-off; ideally, arrive at least 60–90 minutes early to soak up the atmosphere and avoid queues at entrances and facilities.

Please note that these price ranges are indicative: prices may vary depending on the area of the stadium, the match-up, the stage of the World Cup and demand for each match. If you want to experience the tournament in greater comfort, you’ll also find VIP and Hospitality options, with premium seating and exclusive services.

In Dallas-Arlington, Dallas Stadium will be one of the major venues for 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 ‘hubs’ 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 semi-finals of the 2026 World Cup.

Arlington (in the Dallas area) will become one of the epicentres of the 2026 World Cup: its population, bars, cosmopolitan atmosphere and the stadium’s enormous size promise an unforgettable experience. The streets, accommodation and entertainment venues will be filled with football, national team shirts and an international atmosphere.

• Make a note of the stadium: matches will be played at AT&T Stadium (which will be called ‘Dallas Stadium’ during the tournament), a top-class, modern venue ready to host many key matches.
• Arrive early: as Arlington will host up to nine World Cup matches, including knockout stages and a semi-final, it’s best to get there in good time to avoid the rush, queues or any unexpected delays.
• Immerse yourself in the World Cup atmosphere: the city and its surroundings will offer fan zones, bars packed with supporters, a mix of cultures and the perfect atmosphere to experience the tournament even off the pitch.
• Plan your accommodation and travel arrangements now: hotels and transport will fill up quickly — choose your location and access to the stadium carefully to get around comfortably.
• Enjoy Dallas-Arlington beyond the football: between matches, you’ll have the chance to explore the city, its cultural offerings, leisure activities and Texan hospitality whilst mingling with fans from all over the world.

And one essential point: there will be separate zones in the stadium — a zone for fans of one team, a zone for the other, and a neutral zone where supporters of different teams mix. It is essential to buy the correct ticket (category, section and zone): if you enter the wrong stand, you may be moved or denied entry for security reasons. Check the section and zone carefully 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 just football.

Some must-do activities:

• Take a stroll through Texas Live!, a complex packed 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 football with sightseeing. Texas has plenty to offer before and after every match.
