AT&T Stadium, known as Dallas Stadium for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, will begin the process of removing FIFA signage on Wednesday, July 10, weather permitting.

The next event at AT&T Stadium is a BTS concert on Aug. 15. The Dallas Cowboys’ next game in Arlington is Aug. 28 against the New Orleans Saints in the preseason. The Cowboys’ first real home game is Sunday, Sept. 20 against the Washington Commanders in week 2.

AT&T Stadium overhauled hospitality areas, the food menu, and locker rooms for the World Cup. They also installed natural grass turf that grows indoors, which they will return to artificial turf for the Cowboys. Field-level suites were also closed to make room for the elevated pitch. Soccer fields are also wider than NFL fields. The field surface, a Kentucky bluegrass and ryegrass mix, was grown in Colorado before being transported roughly 800 miles to North Texas. Underneath the field is a ventilation and irrigation system designed to maintain the playing surface throughout the tournament.

FIFA has transformed AT&T Stadium with a natural grass field ahead of nine World Cup matches this summer. Officials say the new pitch includes underground irrigation systems and giant grow lights designed to keep the field match-ready. NBC 5’s Meredith Yeomans has more.

Levi’s Stadium, the home of the San Francisco 49ers, restored its branding last week. The Bay Area hosted six matches of their own.

AT&T Stadium started the process of converting or covering its signage back in May, right after MetLife Stadium (New York/New Jersey) and SOFI Stadium (Los Angeles) did the same. MetLife is hosting the World Cup Final on Sunday, Aug. 19; Miami will host the third-place game on Saturday. Those will be the last two stadiums to convert back.

FIFA even used curtains to block the sun, a recurring issue at Dallas Cowboys’ afternoon games. Hall of Fame Owner Jerry Jones has previously refused to do so despite the sun’s glare blinding players at key moments.
