AT&T Stadium Seating Capacity for FIFA World Cup 2026
Dallas Stadium has a seating capacity of 94,000 for FIFA World Cup 2026, the highest of all 16 host venues in the tournament. To reach that figure, the stadium removed club level seating, added field level suites to meet FIFA requirements, and installed natural grass over the existing turf with the pitch raised by several feet.
FIFA World Cup 2026 seating is divided into Category 1, 2, and 3 allocations, with Category 1 in the lower bowl along the sideline closest to the halfway line. The retractable roof keeps the bowl enclosed and climate controlled throughout the summer tournament.
AT&T Stadium History and Background
Dallas Stadium opened in 2009 as the home of the five time Super Bowl champion Dallas Cowboys, and has since hosted the Concacaf Gold Cup and Mexico national team matches. It holds the world’s largest centre hung 1080i HD video board.
Where to Park at AT&T Stadium for FIFA World Cup 2026
On site parking at Dallas Stadium is available but limited, and World Cup match days are nothing like a standard Cowboys game day. Demand is significantly higher, security perimeters extend further out, and road closures affect the usual approach routes into the Entertainment District.
Group stage parking is running around $100 per vehicle, with prices climbing steeply as the tournament progresses. The semifinal on July 14 has seen reported rates reach $1,000, so the earlier you lock in a spot, the more you save.
Rideshare is the smarter call for most fans. Uber, Lyft, and Alto all serve Arlington on match days, with a designated drop off and pickup zone approximately half a mile from the stadium entrance. Factor in surge pricing around kickoff and full time, and plan for the walk in the Texas summer heat.
How to Get to AT&T Stadium for FIFA World Cup 2026
The Trinity Railway Express combined with FIFA dedicated shuttle service is the recommended transit route to Dallas Stadium on match days. The TRE connects Downtown Dallas and Downtown Fort Worth, with shuttles running directly to the stadium gates.
Arlington has no local public transit network, so the TRE shuttle is the most reliable car free route. Dallas Fort Worth International Airport is approximately 20 minutes by car under normal conditions; allows considerably more on match days. Fans driving should enter via Collins Street or AT&T Way.
Where Is AT&T Stadium Located?
Dallas Stadium is at One AT&T Way in Arlington, Texas, positioned almost exactly halfway between Downtown Dallas and Downtown Fort Worth roughly 20 miles from each. The stadium anchors the Arlington Entertainment District alongside Globe Life Field, home of the Texas Rangers, making the surrounding area one of the most sports dense patches of real estate in the country.
Dallas Fort Worth International Airport sits approximately 20 minutes away by car under normal conditions, though match day traffic adds considerably to that.
Arlington is famously the largest city in the United States without a public mass transit system, so arriving with a clear transport plan is essential whether that means driving in early, booking accommodation within walking distance of the Entertainment District, or using the Trinity Railway Express from Downtown Dallas or Fort Worth with a shuttle connection to the stadium.
