It's officially unofficial that the 2026 FIFA World Cup Final—the greatest sports event on earth to be viewed by billions of people worldwide—will be played at AT&T Stadium in Arlington.
On Sunday, FIFA President Gianni Infantino watched the Dallas Cowboys crush the New York Jets 30-10 from inside the owners suite at AT&T Stadium. During the game, he got an earful from Jerry Jones and Governor Greg Abbott on why he should come back there in 2026 to watch the World Cup Final.
Jerry World is still a marvel to millions, but it's not quite as cutting-edge as when it first opened in 2009. Now the Dallas Cowboys are about to do something about it, with $295 million in upgrades planned for AT&T Stadium.
That's according to a report by Sports Business Journal, which says the refresh won't "radically alter" the look and feel of the 100,000-seat stadium. Instead, most of those millions will go toward refreshing premium spaces that are set for lease renewals, as well as upgrading back-end systems and technology in the run-up to the 2026 World Cup.
