Dallas is the only city in Texas on the World Cup 2026 Dallas Fort Worth schedule.

→ Complete Dallas Fan GuideDallas World Cup 2026 — Travel Tips
1. Stay in Arlington — not Downtown Dallas
The single most useful tip for Dallas World Cup fans: stay in Arlington (within 5 miles of AT&T Stadium) rather than Downtown Dallas. You save 25–35 minutes of travel each way, avoid post-match rideshare surges, and can walk back to your hotel after the game. Availability in Arlington is limited — book now.
2. Dallas June heat is real — prepare accordingly
Dallas in June averages 34°C (93°F) with high humidity. AT&T Stadium is a retractable roof venue — the roof will be closed and air conditioning active for most matches. Outside queuing before entry (45–90 min) will be in full Texas summer heat. Wear light clothing and hydrate early.
3. There is no rail to AT&T Stadium — plan transport in advance
DART's rail network stops short of Arlington. Rideshare (Uber/Lyft) is how most fans without a car will travel. Pre-download both apps and add a payment method before you arrive. Post-match surges are extreme — set your return destination before the final whistle.
4. USA and Argentina matches will have the largest crowds
The US opener (Jun 13) and Argentina match (Jun 18) will generate the largest pre-match crowd scenes in Arlington. Arrive 3+ hours early — not for the queue, but for the atmosphere. The surrounding area transforms on USA match days.
5. Fort Worth is 30 minutes away — an underrated base
Fort Worth fans: the Stockyards National Historic District is one of the best areas in the DFW metro for atmosphere and budget accommodation. It's ~30 minutes to AT&T Stadium by car or rideshare. An excellent alternative to pricey Arlington hotels.
6. Semi-Final (Jul 14) hotel prices will be the highest in the city's history
The Semi-Final brings the two best teams in the world to Dallas. Hotel prices in Arlington and Downtown Dallas will be 3–5× normal rates by the time the R16 is complete. Book a refundable hotel for July 13–15 right now — you can always cancel if your team is not involved.
