We are officially counting down to the FIFA World Cup 2026, and the excitement across North Texas is evident as we get ready to host the world! The North Texas FWC Organizing Committee just announced a massive FIFA Fan Festival in Dallas, transforming Fair Park into the ultimate soccer hub from June 11th through July 19th.
Updated March 2026
As we prepare to welcome the world to our backyard, Fair Park is being turned into a 1 million-square-foot space for up to 35,000 fans at a time. This isn’t even just about soccer… it’s a celebration of our local culture and the community spirit that makes Dallas so special. You’ll be able to gather with fans at The Pavilion and surrounding lots to cheer on every goal, completely free and open to the public on all 34 match days!
Whether you’re a die-hard fan or just ready to soak up the legendary atmosphere of one of the world’s biggest stages, this is going to be the place to be!
