For fans in Texas, the stops offer a rare opportunity to see the original FIFA World Cup Trophy, a symbol that has crowned champions since 1974, before the world’s largest sporting event arrives in North America in 2026. The North American leg of the tour will bring the trophy to the Lone Star State for the first time since 2022.

Dig deeper:

Austin, Dallas and Houston will feature the FIFA World Cup 2026 Fan Mart, described by organizers as a "corner shop with a twist," where fans can earn exclusive merchandise, meet FIFA Legends and take part in themed activities. 

Austin and San Antonio

Despite not hosting any matches, Austin will welcome the trophy on April 28–29, followed by a one-day stop in San Antonio on April 30.

San Antonio’s stop will continue the statewide celebration, despite being the only stop that will not feature the FIFA World Cup 2026 Fan Mart.

Dallas

Dallas will host the trophy on April 25–26 as part of the U.S. leg of the tour. As the largest 2026 World Cup host city, Dallas Stadium, also known as AT&T Stadium, in Arlington, Texas is expected to play a central role in tournament festivities.

Fans will be able to view the original FIFA World Cup Trophy up close and participate in interactive activities tied to the tournament. Organizers say the stop will feature fan engagement zones and opportunities to connect with FIFA ambassadors.

Houston

The trophy will make its final Texas stop in Houston on May 2–3. 

Houston is a 2026 World Cup host city that is expected to draw significant fan interest, as one of the biggest names in the sport, Cristiano Ronaldo, is expected to appear twice at Houston Stadium during the group stage with Portugal.

Organizers say the Houston stop will feature interactive football challenges, branded experiences and opportunities for fans to take photos with the iconic trophy.
