Dallas, TX is one of 11 U.S. host cities for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Dallas’s stadium (AT&T Stadium) lies approximately 20 miles away in Arlington, a smaller and less populous city.

AT&T Stadium is also the largest of all World Cup stadiums in the USA.

Seating Capacity

AT&T Stadium has an official seating capacity of 80,000. But officials can reconfigure the stadium to host over 100,000 fans for major events by creating additional standing-only accommodations. For the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the venue will have a maximum seating capacity of 94,000 people. During the 2010 NBA All-Star game, the venue hosted 108,713 fans.

AT&T Stadium Features and Amenities

The AT&T Stadium has the world’s largest center-hung 1080i HD video board. Made by Mitsubishi Electric, this four-board screen spans from 20-yard line to 20-yard line and is often referred to as the Jumbotron.

The AT&T Stadium also has 120-foot operable glass walls that open up onto the plaza and allow cool breezes in. To shield spectators from Arlington’s summer heat, spring rains, and cold winter temps, the stadium has a retractable roof that can fully open and close within just 12 minutes.

Of all the World Cup stadiums in the USA, this one boasts the most impressive art installation. This world-renowned exhibition is a carefully curated selection of Modern Art from Doug Aitken, Ellsworth Kelly, Teresita Fernandez, Olafur Eliasson, Anish Kapoor, and other contemporary creators. You’ll find this collection throughout the stadium, including in public concourses, near entrances, and in private clubs.

AT&T Stadium has three main club levels where fans can enjoy wider, cushioned seats, upscale options in food and beverages, and several exclusive lounges. There are seven ProShops throughout the stadium where fans can purchase official merch, and multiple concession stands and upscale restaurants.
