About Dallas
Dallas/Arlington hosts nine World Cup matches at AT&T Stadium — more than any other 2026 host venue. The stadium seats 80,000+ with a retractable roof, meaning games will be air-conditioned indoors regardless of Texas summer heat.
AT&T Stadium is technically in Arlington, midway between Dallas and Fort Worth. Stay in either city — both have good matchday transit.
