Getting There — DFW

Fly into Dallas/Fort Worth International (DFW). Book flights 6–9 months ahead for the best prices. Compare on Google Flights, Skyscanner, or Kayak.

Getting Around

DART light rail connects DFW Airport and downtown Dallas, but AT&T Stadium in Arlington has very limited public transit. Expect heavy reliance on FIFA shuttle buses and ride-shares. Parking at the stadium is $40–75.

Where to Stay

Arlington (near the stadium) has the most budget hotels ($100–180/night). Dallas downtown has more variety. Fort Worth is charming and 30 minutes away. Prices will surge — book early. **Best neighborhoods:** Deep Ellum for nightlife, Bishop Arts for dining, Uptown for upscale, Arlington for stadium proximity. Fort Worth Stockyards for a unique Texas experience.

Weather — 27–36°C / 81–97°F

The World Cup runs June 11 – July 19 (summer). Dallas averages 27–36°C / 81–97°F during this period. AT&T Stadium has a retractable roof, so indoor conditions will be climate-controlled regardless of outside weather.

Food & Drink

Famous for BBQ (brisket!) and Tex-Mex. Don't miss Pecan Lodge, Cattleack Barbeque, or the Bishop Arts District food scene. Fort Worth Stockyards is a unique western experience.
