2026 FIFA World Cup Stadiums - AT&T Stadium aka "Dallas Stadium" | TFC Stadiums

AT&T Stadium will be one of the most important venues of the 2026 FIFA World Cup — not because it’s new, but because it was built for events of this scale. In this video, we take a deep dive into how the stadium in Arlington, Texas transforms into “Dallas Stadium” for the World Cup, why FIFA assigned it one of the heaviest match schedules of the entire tournament, and what it takes to convert an NFL mega-venue into a World Cup–ready soccer stadium. From its retractable roof and massive column-free interior to the challenges of installing a natural grass pitch indoors, this is the story of how AT&T Stadium becomes a central engine of the expanded 48-team World Cup. We also explore transportation, security planning, broadcast operations, and why North Texas plays a larger role in 2026 than just hosting matches. With nine matches — including a semifinal — this stadium won’t just host the World Cup. It will carry it.
