We’re seeing big changes at AT&T Stadium in Arlington in preparation for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which starts Thursday, June 11.<\/p>\n

The name of the famous stadium is changing from AT&T Stadium to Dallas Stadium. Work has been underway inside the stadium<\/a> for weeks.<\/p>\n

FIFA requires participating stadiums to remove pre-existing branding during the World Cup since it does not allow venues with corporate-sponsored names or logos. As a result, stadiums use generic city or regional names when hosting World Cup games.<\/p>\n

Last month, MetLife Stadium was renamed New York-New Jersey Stadium. NBC 4 New York flew over the stadium<\/a> and saw the new signs going up. SOFI in Los Angeles was renamed Los Angeles Stadium<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Arlington’s Dallas Stadium will be home to nine World Cup matches, including a semifinal match, beginning June 14.<\/p>\n
