Where should I stay for the 2026 World Cup in Dallas?+
Staying in Arlington is closest to AT&T Stadium and most convenient on match days, or stay in downtown Dallas/Fort Worth and ride in to the stadium — check out our reviews of hotels near the stadium.
Is Dallas hard to explore without a private car?+
The DART rail covers downtown and Love Field airport, but the city is very spread out. To cross to Arlington or Fort Worth, renting a car or using Uber/Lyft is more convenient.
How many days is good for visiting Dallas?+
2-3 days is ideal — downtown and the Arts District in one day, Fort Worth Stockyards in another, and an extra day for Six Flags or the stadium if you're with family.
