Dallas is getting nine FIFA World Cup matches in 2026 — including a semifinal — and tickets are already on sale. AT&T Stadium, the 100,000-capacity home of the Dallas Cowboys, will host some of the tournament's biggest games. If you're planning to go, the time to act is now.
Prices on StubHub start at $590 for the opening group-stage match on June 14. Round of 32 games are running around $750, the Round of 16 sits at $950, and that semifinal? You're looking at $2,000 a seat. These are resale prices, which means they'll move with demand — and demand for a World Cup semifinal in North America isn't going down.
How to buy tickets
Official allocation goes through FIFA directly, but that requires a FIFA ID and surviving the lottery-style draw process. For anyone who doesn't want to gamble on availability, StubHub is the straightforward alternative. Prices are above face value, but you know what you're getting and when.
The stadium itself is well-suited for this. AT&T Stadium has hosted everything from Beyoncé tours to the Cotton Bowl, and it handles scale. Over 100,000 with standing room makes it one of the largest World Cup venues in the tournament.
Groups and teams to watch in Dallas
With nine matches scheduled, Dallas will see teams from across all 12 groups at some point in the tournament. The full group breakdown includes some genuinely interesting pools:
- Group A: Mexico, South Africa, South Korea, Czechia
- Group B: Canada, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Qatar, Switzerland
- Group C: Brazil, Morocco, Haiti, Scotland
- Group D: USA, Paraguay, Australia, Turkey
- Group E: Germany, Curaçao, Côte d'Ivoire, Ecuador
- Group F: Netherlands, Japan, Sweden, Tunisia
- Group G: Belgium, Egypt, Iran, New Zealand
- Group H: Spain, Cape Verde, Saudi Arabia, Uruguay
- Group I: France, Senegal, Iraq, Norway
- Group J: Argentina, Algeria, Austria, Japan
- Group K: Portugal, DR Congo, Uzbekistan, Colombia
- Group L: England, Croatia, Ghana, Panama
The USA landing in Group D alongside Paraguay, Australia, and Turkey is the draw American fans will be eyeing most closely. Manageable on paper, but knockout football has a way of humbling paper form. Their odds to progress from that group look reasonable — though Turkey have quietly become a tournament side worth respecting.
Brazil in Group C with Morocco, Haiti, and Scotland is the kind of draw that looks comfortable until it isn't. Scotland's qualification alone is a story. Morocco showed at the 2022 World Cup they can beat anyone on a given day.
Argentina and France — the last two World Cup winners — are in separate groups, which at minimum guarantees the knockout rounds get interesting if both progress. The semifinal slot at AT&T Stadium could easily feature either side. At $2,000 a ticket, that's the one worth watching.
