Dallas-area fans planning to drive to 2026 FIFA World Cup matches at AT&T Stadium should prepare for significantly higher parking costs compared to typical Dallas Cowboys games.
Group-stage parking passes range from about $128 to more than $200 for standard spots, with oversized vehicle parking starting above $500. Some options for certain matches can reach even higher prices closer to game time. By comparison, these rates run up to five times what drivers typically pay for Cowboys games at the same Arlington venue.
FIFA’s official parking partner, Just Park, handles sales for matches at Dallas Stadium (AT&T Stadium). All passes must be purchased in advance with a valid match ticket, and prices increase 24 hours before kickoff. Premium and closer lots command higher fees, while some spots involve longer walks from the stadium.
The 2026 World Cup will bring dozens of matches to North Texas, drawing massive crowds to Arlington’s Entertainment District. Officials expect the tournament to boost the local economy through tourism, but the elevated parking costs could add to the financial burden for families and visitors attending multiple games.
AT&T Stadium, home to the Cowboys and Texas Rangers, has hosted major events for years, but the World Cup represents one of the largest international spectacles the venue will see. Parking logistics have long been a talking point for large events in Arlington, with limited on-site capacity driving reliance on pre-purchased passes and nearby lots.
Fans are encouraged to book early through official channels to secure spots and avoid last-minute surges. Alternative transportation options like shuttles, rideshares, or public transit may help mitigate costs and congestion during the tournament, which runs from June to July 2026.
