The 2026 international soccer tournament schedule at Dallas Stadium overlaps directly with the Texas Rangers home schedule at Globe Life Field, and the two stadiums sit 0.3 to 0.7 miles apart in the Arlington Entertainment District. That overlap makes Arlington one of the only places in the world where you can attend a global soccer match and a Major League Baseball game on the same trip, and in some cases, on the same day.
Here is how to build a trip that includes both.
Dallas Stadium hosts group-stage matches from mid-June through late June and knockout-round fixtures through mid-July. The Rangers play home games at Globe Life Field throughout that same window, with series against multiple opponents running between and alongside match days.
Check the Rangers schedule to identify games that fall on your travel dates. The team has built special promotions around the tournament, including the $25 Texas Ticket with loaded ballpark credit and soccer-themed giveaway nights.
An afternoon soccer match at Dallas Stadium followed by an evening Rangers game at Globe Life Field is entirely feasible. The walk between the two venues takes 8 to 13 minutes, and Texas Live! offers a natural midpoint for food and drinks.
If you are attending a same-day double, plan for the stricter bag policy. Dallas Stadium enforces a clear bag requirement during the global soccer event: clear totes measuring 12 by 6 by 12 inches, one-gallon clear resealable bags or small clutch purses up to 4.5 by 6.5 inches. Globe Life Field allows soft-sided bags up to 16 by 16 by 8 inches but prohibits backpacks. Use a clear bag that meets the Dallas Stadium requirements and you will be set for both venues.
Not every day during the 2026 soccer tournament has a match at Dallas Stadium. Rest days between fixtures are ideal for a Rangers game. The $25 Texas Ticket is built specifically for visiting fans and includes loaded ballpark credit to help you explore the Guide to Texas Baseball, a curated checklist of must-try foods and experiences at Globe Life Field.
Try Hurtado Barbecue near Section 141 for some of the best brisket in North Texas. The two-foot-long Boomstick hot dog near Section 132 is a fan favorite. Whataburger near Section 105 and Blue Bell ice cream throughout the concourse round out the Texas food experience. Gates open two hours before first pitch for night games.
The Rangers have created multiple promotions tied to the 2026 international soccer tournament. Two dates feature soccer-themed jersey giveaways, and another includes a soccer scarf for the first 10,000 fans in attendance. These specialty items require theme-night tickets, which are available through the Rangers website.
The Grand Slam Team Store at Globe Life Field is also selling New Era hats with country flag patches for seven nations: Argentina, Austria, England, Japan, Mexico, the Netherlands and the United States. It is a unique souvenir that blends your national pride with Texas baseball culture.
Staying in the Arlington Entertainment District eliminates the need for daily transportation between venues. Loews Arlington Hotel and Live! by Loews – Arlington Texas are both within walking distance of Dallas Stadium and Globe Life Field.
From the Entertainment District, Dallas is approximately 25 minutes east by car or rideshare, and Fort Worth is approximately 30 minutes west. Both cities offer nightlife, dining and cultural attractions for days when neither stadium is calling.
DFW International Airport is approximately 15 miles from the Entertainment District. A rideshare takes 20 to 25 minutes and costs roughly $35. The budget option is the free TRE LINK bus to CentrePort Station, then Arlington On-Demand for $3.
On match days, free charter buses run from CentrePort Station to the Dallas Stadium area for ticket holders. The Arlington Trolley runs free on event days between participating hotels and the stadium complex.
