The Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center will host FIFA’s International Broadcast Center with set up for the summer tournament expected to start in

Dallas will officially host the International Broadcast Center for the 2026 World Cup, FIFA announced on March 5. The decision by FIFA ends more than a year of speculation going back to February 2024, when the organization revealed that nine World Cup games will be played at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, the most of any host venue.

Dallas will host the International Broadcast Center for next year’s FIFA World Cup, making the Texas city the tournament’s media hub as well as the site of nine games – more than any other location.

Dallas will host the International Broadcast Center for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, bringing significant economic benefits. The center will accommodate 3,000 to 5,000 broadcasters and staff, with $15 million in improvements at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center.
