The countdown is on! In 2026, the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex will become the center of the soccer world as North Texas hosts the most FIFA World Cup matches of any host city in North America. AT&T Stadium in Arlington will welcome nine World Cup matches, including a highly anticipated semifinal, putting DFW in the international spotlight for more than a month.
The tournament, which runs from June 11 through July 19, 2026, is expected to bring hundreds of thousands of visitors to the region, creating an incredible opportunity for local businesses, tourism, restaurants, hotels, and entertainment venues. DFW's world-class infrastructure, two major international airports, and reputation as one of the fastest-growing regions in the country make it a natural choice to host such a prestigious global event.
Beyond the matches themselves, residents and visitors can enjoy the FIFA Fan Festival at Fair Park, featuring live match broadcasts, entertainment, concerts, cultural events, and family-friendly activities throughout the tournament. The region will also serve as a major hub for international media coverage, further showcasing everything North Texas has to offer.
For local homeowners, the World Cup represents more than just soccer. Major international events often generate increased interest in host cities, highlighting community amenities, economic growth, and quality of life. With communities like Frisco, Prosper, McKinney, and Plano continuing to attract relocation buyers from across the country, the World Cup provides an exciting opportunity to showcase North Texas on a global stage.
One thing is certain—summer 2026 will be a historic moment for DFW, and the world will be watching. 🌎
