World Cup 2026 in Dallas
Dallas-Fort Worth, the fourth-largest metropolitan area in the United States, brings Cowboys Country to the FIFA World Cup 2026. Hosting matches at the legendary AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, this region is known for its big personalities, bigger steaks, and the world's most valuable NFL franchise. AT&T Stadium, known as "Jerry World" by fans, is a testament to Texas-sized ambition — a retractable roof, massive capacity, and one of the world's largest HDTV screens suspended over the field. The Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex is a sprawling urban region of over 7 million people that offers visitors a fascinating blend of Southern hospitality, Western heritage, and modern cosmopolitan culture. The area boasts excellent museums including the Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza, the Perot Museum of Nature and Science, and the world-class Dallas Museum of Art. As a major hub for Latin American communities in Texas, the atmosphere for World Cup matches will be extraordinary, with fans from Mexico and Central America joining supporters from around the globe in one of America's great sporting cities.
AT&T Stadium — Stadium Guide
AT&T Stadium, opened in 2009, is one of the most spectacular sports venues in the world. Home to the Dallas Cowboys NFL team, it cost $1.3 billion to build and features a retractable roof, retractable end zone doors, and a capacity expandable to over 100,000 for special events. The centerpiece is a massive high-definition video board — at 160 feet wide and 72 feet tall, it remains one of the largest in any stadium.
