The 2026 FIFA World Cup is quickly approaching, and the nine matches being held at AT&T Stadium — or rather, Dallas Stadium — aren't the only thing fans can look forward to.

If you can’t get a ticket to the Arlington matches, that’s okay. The North Texas FIFA World Cup Organizing Committee is hosting a month-long Fan Festival from Thursday, June 11 to Sunday, July 19.

Fans will be able to enjoy live broadcasts of all 104 matches from giant TV screens. The grounds will be open on the 34 game days and closed on the five rest days, when no matches are played. Here’s just some of the things fans can expect:

What we know as Dos Equis Pavilion will temporarily be re-branded to The Pavilion at Fair Park. The festival will also take up adjacent Lots 9 and 10, and will be able to hold ~35,000 attendees at one time.

Admission is free and open to everybody. Gates open one hour before the match start time and close one hour after.

Premium tickets will be available for elevated experiences. More information on that later, but first...

A beer garden
Two main stages, showcasing musical, dance, and cultural performances
Several immersive activations from at least nine partners

These lineups — food, shows, and activations — will be announced in the upcoming weeks.

Getting to and from

While officials are still ironing out parking, here is your reminder that the Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) provides rides to and from Fair Park Station (Green Line). Fans wishing to utilize the DART can purchase day passes via the GoPass app.
