FIFA names Dallas-Fort Worth as venue for 2026 World Cup

The biggest event in the world is coming back to the Dallas-Fort Worth market in 2026.

FIFA announced on Thursday that the Dallas market was selected as one of the 16 hosts for the tournament.

All the games will be played in Arlington at AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys. Based on the bid book, Dallas should get upwards of six games in the tournament, including a semifinal game.

It’s estimated that being named a host city could lead to an economic impact of nearly $400 million dollars and create as many as 3,000 new jobs.
