About the stadium

Houston Stadium is the tournament name for NRG Stadium, the retractable-roof venue in NRG Park near the Texas Medical Center.

Stadium history

  • NRG Stadium opened in 2002 and became the NFL's first retractable-roof stadium.

  • For FIFA World Cup 26, Houston is scheduled for five group-stage fixtures and two knockout matches.

Area context

  • The stadium district sits south of central Houston near the Medical Center and Astrodome area.
  • Summer humidity and sudden storms can affect fan-zone timing, walking comfort and post-match travel.

Getting around

  • METRORail's Red Line, event buses, rideshare and managed parking are the key movement anchors.
  • Allow extra time for NRG Park security perimeters and pedestrian flows after full-stadium events.
