TL;DR

AT&T Stadium in Dallas (Arlington, Texas) is the largest venue, with a World Cup capacity around 94,000. Home of the NFL's Dallas Cowboys, it hosts the most matches of any 2026 venue — nine, including a semifinal. The final, though, is at the slightly smaller MetLife Stadium near New York.

The biggest stage of the 2026 World Cup is AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas — better known to Americans as the home of the Dallas Cowboys. With a World Cup capacity around 94,000, it dwarfs the other venues and will host nine matches, more than anywhere else, including one of the semifinals.

Interestingly, the final isn''t held there. That goes to MetLife Stadium near New York (capacity ~82,500) on July 19. So the largest stadium hosts the most games and a semifinal, while the smaller New York venue gets the showpiece.

AT&T Stadium is the Cowboys' palace — the same kind of mega-venue that hosts Super Bowls and college championships — so soccer fans get one of America's grandest stadiums for the tournament's biggest crowds.
