What You Need to Know: Travel and lodging impacts due to the FIFA Club World Cup 2026

• Hotel Availability: Expect higher demand in North Texas, especially in Dallas-Fort Worth. Booking early is strongly recommended to secure lodging in Denton at reasonable rates.
• Flight Congestion: Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), the primary airport serving Denton, may experience increased traffic due to FIFA-related travel. Plan for potential delays and allow extra time for airport transit.
• Transportation Strain: Ride-share services, rental cars, and public transit may be busier than usual in the region. Consider reserving transportation in advance.
• Event Overlap: FIFA matches and fan events may coincide with our conference dates, leading to crowded venues and limited availability in restaurants and hotels.

Recommendations:

• Book Lodging Early: Denton hotels may fill quickly due to spillover from Dallas events.
• Secure Flights Soon: Especially if flying into DFW or Dallas Love Field.
• Plan for Extra Transit Time: Both to and from the airport and around the city.
• Stay Informed: Monitor local travel advisories and FIFA event schedules.

We are committed to ensuring a smooth and enriching experience for all attendees. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to CPT (cpt@unt.edu) for conference/training questions.
