Sherman, Texas — Friday's 1 p.m. fixture — Australia versus Egypt — closes out the Round of 32. The marquee event follows on July 6, when Portugal and Spain meet in a Round of 16 tie that ranks among the most anticipated knockout matches of the entire tournament.

The July 4th weekend overlap has triggered a visitor surge across DFW, with hotels, restaurants and transit systems reporting peak occupancy as fans from dozens of countries converge on the Arlington entertainment district.

AT&T Stadium will also stage a semifinal on July 14 at 2 p.m. — the first World Cup semifinal ever held in North Texas. The venue has hosted nine World Cup matches overall, the most of any stadium in the 2026 tournament.

Sherman, the largest city in Grayson County, sits at the northern edge of the DFW sports market but follows the region's pro teams closely.
