Inside AT&T Stadium: Your FIFA 2026 Semifinal Guide

AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas hosts a FIFA World Cup 2026 Semifinal on July 14 — one of only two Semis in the tournament. The 80,000-seat retractable-roof venue is the largest Semifinal host in tournament history.

Getting There

AT&T Stadium is in Arlington, about 20 miles west of downtown Dallas. There is no rail service to Arlington. This is important.

Shuttle: Expect FIFA/WKND shuttle services from downtown Dallas staging areas. Details TBD.

Rideshare: $40-60 from downtown Dallas. Surge pricing will apply.

Driving: Parking at the stadium complex is $50-75. Lots open 4 hours before kickoff.

Private transfer: Our bundle packages include this.

What to Know

The retractable roof will be closed in July Texas heat (100°F+ outside, 72°F inside).

The stadium's center-hung video board is the largest in any NFL stadium — 72 feet tall, 160 feet wide.

Cashless, clear bag policy.

Gates open 2.5 hours before kickoff for knockout rounds.

Pro Tips

1. Book a shuttle or private transfer. Don't rely on rideshare — 80,000 people requesting rides at the same time. 2. The July Texas heat is serious. Even with AC inside, the walk from parking is exposed. 3. AT&T Stadium allows one sealed water bottle per person. 4. Post-match, expect 60-90 minutes to exit the parking area.
