DFW is Ready to Welcome FIFA Fans

DFW AIRPORT, Texas (April 2, 2026)

As North Texas prepares to welcome global fans for FIFA World Cup 2026™, Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) is ready – starting the moment fans land.

In addition to directional signage throughout the terminals, DFW is proud to provide Customer Experience representatives and DFW Ambassadors ready to help passengers locate amenities, understand transportation options, provide information and more.

At DFW, multiple ground transportation options are available to help fans reach matches, FIFA Fan Festival™ and hotels across the region. Ride-share services, taxi cabs, rental cars and public transit are all easily accessible from the airport, giving travelers the flexibility to choose what works best for their schedule and destination.

Getting to FIFA Events

Dallas will host nine matches, with games played in Arlington and major tournament activities across the region.

  • From CentrePort/DFW Airport Station, a charter bus service will operate between the station and Lot H near the stadium, helping riders complete their journey between Dallas, Fort Worth and Arlington.

The Fan Festival is being held at Fair Park.

  • From the DART station in Terminal A, fans would take the Orange Line to Bachman Station and switch to the Green Line, which will take them directly to Fair Park Station. The MLK, Jr. Station also serves Fair Park.

With most FIFA-related hotels located in and around downtown Dallas – and others in Frisco, Fort Worth, Irving, and Arlington – public transit offers a practical way to move throughout the region without the stress of navigating traffic.

Skip Airport Traffic with Public Transit

In coordination with regional partners, DFW encourages fans to take advantage of convenient public transportation options. As one of the most connected airports in the country – with rail service directly into airport terminals – DFW makes it easy way to skip traffic and get where you need to go:

  • Dallas Area Rapid Transit’s (DART) Orange Line provides direct access to Terminal A, with service extending from the airport, through Irving, downtown Dallas and Plano.
  • DART’s Silver Line provides direct access to Terminal B, with service to Coppell, Carrollton, Addison, Richardson and Plano, bypassing downtown Dallas for a faster northern route.
  • Trinity Metro’s TEXRail provides direct access to Terminal B, with service to Grapevine, North Richland Hills and downtown Fort Worth, offering an easy west-side connection.
  • Trinity Railway Express (TRE) links Dallas and Fort Worth to CentrePort/DFW Airport Station, with terminal access at lower-level gate D16 via the TRE Link shuttle.

Whether you’re flying in for a match at Dallas Stadium in Arlington, heading to the International Broadcast Center at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center, or joining fans at Fair Park, transit connects you to the heart of the action.

For transit routes, schedules and trip planning tools, visit DART.org or Trinitymetro.org.

Follow Curbside and Parking Protocols

If fans are picked up at the airport, they can help keep traffic flowing by following curbside and parking protocols. Curbside areas are reserved for active loading and unloading only. Customers waiting to pick up passengers are encouraged to use cell phone lots and one-hour parking inside terminal garages (available at no additional charge).

Use DFW’s Digital Tools for Real-Time Decision Making

The DFW Airport mobile app, available for iOS and Android, helps travelers plan ahead and stay informed with real-time features such as:

Prebook Parking

Travelers heading out of town for a match or summer trip are encouraged to prebook parking online to get the best rate and spend less time making decisions when they arrive at the airport. In addition to terminal parking options, Express and Remote parking lots provide quick and convenient shuttle service to every terminal.
