Where to Watch the World Cup Matches in Dallas

The Best Fan Festivals, Watch Parties, and a Shared Reality Experience to Enjoy The Tournament

By //

Since it was announced (almost four years ago) that Dallas would be a host city for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Dallasites have been eagerly awaiting the big event that is finally happening this summer. Back in North Texas for the first time since 1994, the tournament will take place from June 11 through July 19. AT&T Stadium (renamed Dallas Stadium for the World Cup) in Arlington will host nine matches, including a semifinal, which is more than any other city will have.

If you’re not planning to attend the tournament, there are still plenty of ways to watch the 2026 FIFA World Cup in Dallas. As we’re only a month away now, it’s time to get prepared and make some plans. This is our guide to the best fan festivals, watch parties, and more ways to celebrate the World Cup. We’ll continue to add to the list as we learn of more local spots offering ways to watch the tournament.
