Dallas (technically Arlington) is the most-fixtured US venue for the 2026 World Cup, with nine matches including a semi-final. The reason: AT&T Stadium's capacity (the largest available) and indoor climate control (Texas June heat is a problem).
Dallas's 2026 fixtures include four group matches, two Round of 32, one Round of 16, one quarter-final, and one semi-final.
