FIFA World Cup 2026 · Dallas Host City
Stay 40 minutes from every World Cup match in Frisco.
Nine matches at Dallas Stadium — including a Semi-Final on July 14. Skip the downtown chaos and stay in a private home with a pool, space for your whole group, and direct access to the tollway.
Why fans choose Frisco for World Cup 2026
Dallas hosts 9 World Cup 2026 matches at Dallas Stadium (AT&T Stadium) in Arlington — more than any other host city, including a Semi-Final. For traveling fans, the bottleneck isn’t the matches — it’s where to sleep. Downtown Dallas hotels sell out a year in advance and triple-priced. Hotels near the stadium book up the same way.
Frisco is 40 minutes north of the stadium with consistently better availability, quieter blocks for after-match recovery, and full-house rentals built for groups of 8 to 11. You get a private backyard with a pool to decompress in after the heat, an smart TVs throughout (plus an outdoor projector at three of the four homes) to watch other matches with your group, and direct booking that skips OTA service fees.
