The First Semifinal of the 2026 World Cup will be held on Tuesday, 14 July 2026, at Dallas Stadium (Arlington, Texas) — Match 101 in the tournament, between the winners of the two quarterfinal matches that preceded it. This is one of two semifinals in the biggest tournament in World Cup history, a stage at which only four teams remain in the race for the trophy.
The Dallas semifinal is one of the two matches separating the quarterfinal stage from the grand final. The teams that will reach the match will only be determined after the quarterfinals are over, when the winners of the two previous matches in that branch of the tournament face off for a place in the final. This is one of the most dramatic moments of any World Cup — a stage where every match is "all or nothing".
Dallas Stadium itself has already hosted several matches throughout the tournament, and now gets to host one of the two semifinals — an honor that reflects its status as one of the most impressive venues at the 2026 World Cup.
Dallas Stadium in Arlington, home of the Dallas Cowboys NFL team, is one of the largest and most advanced venues in American sports — a huge capacity, a retractable roof, and advanced technology that make it an experience in itself even for those who didn't come only for the football. The Dallas-Fort Worth area is a major economic and cultural center in Texas, with extensive tourism infrastructure: a wide range of hotels at every price level, malls, restaurants, and entertainment options throughout the stay.
Getting to the stadium is relatively convenient by private or rental car, and there are also organized shuttles from central hotels in the area on big match days like the semifinal.
Several airlines operate flights from Israel to Dallas, usually with one stopover in Europe, with a total flight time of about 14-16 hours. The time difference from Israel is about 8 hours. A valid ESTA approval or suitable visa is required to enter the USA — it's recommended to arrange this in advance. July in Texas is very hot and humid, so it's worth preparing accordingly in terms of clothing, sun protection, and plenty of fluids, especially around match hours.
Since this is the semifinal stage, very close to the peak of the tournament, demand for flights and hotels in the Dallas area is expected to rise significantly as the date approaches — it's recommended to plan and book as early as possible.
