Stay Near Dallas for World Cup 2026 — Without the Chaos
Heading to North America for FIFA World Cup 26™ group and knockout matches or the Fan Festival in Dallas? Make Four Winds Victorian Venue & Suites in Bonham, Texas your quiet home base — about 90 minutes from Dallas Stadium (AT&T Stadium) and Fair Park.
Enjoy historic charm, small-town pricing, and pet-friendly suites while you day-trip to the matches, fan events, and downtown Dallas — then come back to a calm porch instead of crowded city streets.
Four Winds is an independent, locally owned inn in Bonham, Texas and is not an official FIFA or World Cup partner. Stadium names may be temporarily changed for the tournament (AT&T Stadium will be branded “Dallas Stadium” during FIFA World Cup 26™).
Why Base in Bonham for the Dallas World Cup?
The 2026 FIFA World Cup runs from June 11 to July 19, 2026, with 48 national teams playing 104 matches across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. North Texas is one of the busiest hubs in the entire tournament.
Dallas Stadium (AT&T Stadium in Arlington) is scheduled to host nine matches — more than any other venue — including group-stage games, a knockout match, and a semi-final. Fair Park in Dallas will host a massive Fan Festival throughout the tournament.
That also means hotel prices, traffic, and crowds will spike across the metro. In Bonham, you get a calmer, more affordable home base with an easy highway drive into the action when you want it — and a quiet porch when you’re done.
- Less stress, more sleep: Skip downtown noise and late-night street traffic.
- Small-town pricing: Better value than many Dallas-area hotels during peak match days.
- Free parking: No surprise parking fees or downtown garages.
- Real Texas feel: Historic Victorian inn, local cafés, and an actual neighborhood, not just freeways.

World Cup 2026 in North America — What to Expect
FIFA World Cup 26™ is the first 48-team World Cup, co-hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The official draw was held in December 2025, assigning teams to 12 groups of four.
The opening match is scheduled for June 11, 2026 at Estadio Azteca in Mexico City. The final will be played July 19, 2026 at New York New Jersey Stadium (MetLife Stadium) in the New York/New Jersey area.
Throughout the tournament, North Texas will host multiple group and knockout matches at Dallas Stadium (AT&T Stadium in Arlington), plus Fan Festival events at Fair Park. That combination means:
- High demand for hotel rooms, vacation rentals, and alternative lodging across the region.
- Heavier traffic and higher prices the closer you get to the stadiums and downtown Dallas.
- More value and breathing room when you base a bit outside the core — like Bonham.
Plan Your Stay in Three Simple Steps

- Choose a suite or cottage at Four Winds that fits your group and pets.
- Book direct and build in extra drive time on match days.
