World Cup 2026 in Dallas

Watching the matches

Visit the FIFA Fan Festival at Fair Park for an official fan experience. It offers free entry with a plethora of activities running throughout the tournament. Apart from the fan zone, Dallas features several neighborhoods known for hosting watch parties. Deep Ellum and Bishop Arts District in Dallas, Uptown, and Sundance Square in Fort Worth are good bets.
 

Getting around

Although Arlington lacks a direct rail connection to AT&T Stadium, options exist. Consider taking the TRE commuter rail to CentrePort Station. From there, special buses may transport fans on match days. For those using DART, plan to use official shuttles or rideshares for getting to Arlington. Carpooling or chartering a bus is advisable, particularly for large groups.
 

Where fans gather

Deep Ellum offers a collection of bars and restaurants all eager to welcome football fans. In the Bishop Arts District, you will find local eateries and pubs perfect for match day excitement. Uptown has a more upscale vibe while still being very accessible. In Fort Worth, Sundance Square presents a lively alternative. The Arlington Entertainment District is closer to the stadium for those not venturing into Dallas post-match. Each neighborhood provides a unique vibe, offering something for a variety of fans.
 

Practical notes

Traffic around match times may be heavy, especially near the stadium. Plan your journey and consider parking options ahead of time. Familiarize yourself with the transport routes, especially from the TRE CentrePort Station. Keep an eye on the official city site for updates on fan zones and transport services during the tournament.
