GETTING AROUND

PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION

Public transit in North Texas is the easiest, most efficient way to travel to all FIFA World Cup 2026™ events.

With service directly to/from DFW airport, FIFA Fan Festival™ Dallas, Fort Worth, and Dallas Stadium* visitors and residents can ride the rails or bus to travel with ease. Download the GoPass® app to plan trips, purchase tickets, and discover all North Texas has to offer.

A GoPass is a digital transit ticketing and trip-planning system used in the Dallas–Fort Worth region.

  • It’s primarily a mobile app (and optional tap card) that lets you buy and store transit passes for buses, trains, and some on-demand services.
  • It also functions as an all-in-one travel tool, helping you plan routes, track vehicles in real time, and get alerts.
  • A single pass can work across multiple transit systems like DART, Trinity Metro, and DCTA within North Texas.

To take transit to Dallas Stadium using the Trinity Railway Express (TRE) train, we recommend purchasing a ticket using GoPass and boarding at Victory Station in downtown Dallas or the Central Station in downtown Fort Worth. The train will take you to the Centreport Station which is north of the stadium and complimentary charter buses will be waiting to take you to the stadium and are available for your return trip.

From downtown to the stadium, please plan for a trip of approximately 1.5 hours. Wait times may be longer so we encourage you to arrive early.

A valid match ticket is required for charter service to Dallas Stadium and will only be available on match days. Service to the stadium will begin five hours before the start of the game and will continue up to three hours after the game.

AUTOMOBILE

North Texas is a wide and well-connected region, with major venues, stadiums, and universities located within easy driving distance. On average, most destinations are 25–35 miles apart, which typically means a 30–45 minute drive in normal traffic. However, during rush hour or on days with major events, travel times can stretch closer to 50–60 minutes.

For example:

Dallas → Fort Worth: 30 miles
– 35–45 minutes
– up to an hour with traffic

Dallas → Arlington (Dallas Stadium in Arlington): 20 miles
– 25–35 minutes
– up to 45 minutes with traffic

When planning travel around FIFA World Cup™ events or other large gatherings, we recommend allowing extra time for traffic and parking so you can fully enjoy the experience. 

For additional transportation information the 511DFW app is available for services like real-time traffic conditions, roadside assistance, and links to other regional transportation apps.  Download the app or call 511 and learn more at 511DFW.org.

Rideshare

Technology companies like Lyft and Uber, as well as taxis will be directed to the Arlington Esports Stadium parking for drop-offs and pick-ups. It is approximately a 10-minute walk from the Lot to the Stadium.

AIRPORTS

North Texas is served by two major airports: Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) and Dallas Love Field (DAL). Both provide convenient connections to public transportation, allowing visitors to travel easily between the airports and destinations across the region.

DFW Airport

Dallas Fort Worth International Airport is one of the busiest airports in the world and a major gateway to North Texas. Travelers arriving at DFW can connect directly to regional rail service:

  • DART Orange Line provides service from DFW Airport to downtown Dallas and connects to the broader DART rail network.
  • TEXRail provides service from DFW Airport to downtown Fort Worth.
  • Trinity Railway Express (TRE) connects Dallas and Fort Worth, allowing travelers to move between the region’s two largest cities.

These services make it easy to reach key destinations such as downtown Dallas, downtown Fort Worth, and other areas across North Texas.

Dallas Love Field

Dallas Love Field offers convenient access to the DART rail network via the Love Link bus (Route 5). The Love Link connects the airport to Inwood/Love Field Station, where passengers can transfer to the DART Green Line or Orange Line to reach downtown Dallas and other destinations throughout the region.

North Texas is home to many general aviation airports. These airports provide comprehensive services for corporate aviation, private aircraft owners, and charter operators, delivering a high level of service and operational efficiency.  Although the airports don’t have a public transit system connection, many have rideshare services (Uber/Lyft) and rental car services to connect to destinations throughout North Texas. 

The following link can be utilized to provide information on North Texas General Aviation: Airport Parking Capacity Map. Each day during the games, the map will be updated with information from each FBO/Airport to display the capacity. This map will display key information to aircraft owners and operators planning to come to North Texas.
