World Cup host city
Dallas runs its World Cup out of AT&T Stadium in Arlington, the tournament's busiest venue with nine matches capped by a July 14 semifinal. No USA group game lands here, but if the Americans go deep, the semifinal is a realistic destination.

Official info →No train to the stadium — plan the transfer
There's no rail line directly to AT&T Stadium. Take the Trinity Railway Express (TRE) from downtown Dallas or Fort Worth to CentrePort Station, then a complimentary charter bus to the Bus Hub north of the stadium (about a 10-minute walk).
Driving and parking
Roughly 16,600 match-day parking spaces, reached via Interstate 30 and TX-360. Rideshare drop-off/pickup runs from the Esports Stadium Arlington lot, under a mile from the stadium.
Getting around Dallas itself
DART light rail connects downtown Dallas, DFW Airport and Fair Park (home of the official Fan Festival) — handy for the city even though it doesn't reach Arlington.
Where to base
Arlington sits between Dallas and Fort Worth. Staying downtown Dallas (DART/TRE access) or Fort Worth (TRE access) both work; Arlington itself has limited transit, so a car or rideshare helps.
