Presale tickets for the 2026 Concacaf W Championship went on sale yesterday morning in Mansfield, giving soccer fans an early shot at seats before the tournament brings the U.S. Women's National Team and seven other international squads to Texas Health Mansfield Stadium this fall. The presale window opened at 10 a.m. Central Time and closes September 8 at 8 a.m. Central, with the stadium describing the available tickets as limited.
According to the City of Mansfield, Texas Municipal Government, fans who want in on the presale must first sign up for the Mansfield Stadium newsletter, which will email a ticket-claim link and access code at 10 a.m. Central on Friday. The stadium said it will also send additional presale reminders throughout the window before the general public sale opens shortly after the presale closes. The tournament offers international women's soccer in Mansfield for the first time, with flags for the United States, Mexico, Canada, Jamaica, El Salvador, Haiti, Panama, and Costa Rica featured in the sign-up promotion.
The eight-team field for the tournament includes some of the region's top women's national teams, and the stakes go well beyond a trophy. As Concacaf has laid out, the four Quarterfinal winners advancing to the Semifinals in Mansfield will automatically qualify for the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup in Brazil, while the tournament's top three finishers will secure berths in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. Losing Quarterfinalists get one more chance, competing in a Play-In round on December 2 in Mansfield for two of Concacaf's slots in the FIFA Intercontinental Play-Off Tournament.
USWNT Opens Against El Salvador in Mansfield
The marquee match for local fans arrives right out of the gate: the U.S. Women's National Team is scheduled to open its campaign at Texas Health Mansfield Stadium on November 27, facing El Salvador in a Quarterfinal matchup, according to U.S. Soccer. The U.S. and Canada qualified automatically based on regional rankings, while the other six nations earned their spots through group competition. The Concacaf W Championship runs November 27 through December 5, co-hosted by Mansfield and Shell Energy Stadium in Houston, with Mansfield set to host every Quarterfinal, Semifinal, and Play-In match while Houston takes the Third-Place Match and Final.
The tournament lands at a venue that has only just begun to prove itself on the international stage. Texas Health Mansfield Stadium, an $88 million city-owned facility with more than 7,000 fixed seats, held its grand opening on July 1, and it briefly served as a FIFA World Cup 2026 Team Base Camp for the Czech Republic men's national team, hosting an open practice that drew more than 2,500 attendees ahead of Czechia's Group A matches across North America. Since then, it has become the primary home of MLS NEXT Pro club North Texas SC, the FC Dallas affiliate that lit up its Mansfield debut with a 3-0 win on July 4 and set a club attendance record of 5,694 fans, per Hoodline.
Stadium Anchors a $2.5 Billion Entertainment District
Texas Health Mansfield Stadium is the centerpiece of Mansfield's Staybolt Street Entertainment District, a $2.5 billion, 250-acre mixed-use development funded through a mix of city sales taxes, debt bonds, and private investment. The surrounding district is planned to eventually include hotels, a convention center, housing, retail, and a family entertainment venue, positioning the Concacaf tournament as another proof point for the city's broader sports-tourism strategy.
Nonprofit healthcare system Texas Health Resources signed a 10-year naming rights deal for the stadium in January, becoming its official health partner and promoting community wellness initiatives alongside health-conscious food offerings. The venue is jointly operated by REV Entertainment and Hunt Sports Group, the FC Dallas affiliate that also runs North Texas SC, and it features Mansfield Mile, a 119-foot outdoor bar promoted as the longest in any North American stadium. Beyond soccer, the stadium has also booked an international women's rugby match between the United States and Italy for October 17, ahead of its winter run hosting the Concacaf tournament.
For now, the immediate step for interested fans is signing up for the newsletter before the presale window closes September 8, with general public tickets to follow soon after. The tournament arrives without one familiar face for USWNT fans: Portland Thorns midfielder Olivia Moultrie will miss the Concacaf W Championship after a season-ending ACL tear, as Hoodline reported in August, leaving her own World Cup bid in doubt even as her national team opens play in Mansfield.
