Dallas

AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, hosts 9 World Cup matches—more than any other venue in the 2026 tournament—including a Semifinal on July 14. This retractable-roof colossus holds 80,000 seats, expandable to over 100,000, and features a 160-foot-wide suspended video screen, the world’s largest. Its climate control system counteracts July heat indices over 110°F, outperforming open-air stadiums like #5. The Fair Park fan zone operates at 35,000 daily capacity. Matches span 5 group stage, 2 Round of 32, 1 Round of 16, and the Semifinal, making it the best base for maximizing match count. The Dallas-Fort Worth region offers Deep Ellum live music and DFW Airport, a top US hub. This 9-match schedule exceeds #4 SoFi’s 8 matches, and its ability to close the roof in minutes is a 30% faster adaptation than typical retractable venues.
