PortugalvDR CongoTickets

The 2026 FIFA World Cup match between Portugal and DR Congo will be an exciting fixture in the group stage. Tickets are very limited at this time, with the match approaching, so make sure you grab your tickets while you still can.

Ticket Prices and Seating

NRG Stadium is home to the Houston Texans NFL franchise and is one of the largest and most well-equipped venues in the tournament.

The lower bowl seating offers the closest public view of the field and is where most fans will want to sit for the best overall matchday experience.

Sections 105–108 and 125–128 are considered the best seats in the stadium. Positioned around the 50-yard line, they provide excellent views of the players and allow you to fully take in the atmosphere throughout the game.

Rows K–Z are generally seen as the best seating range, here you get a good balance between proximity to the action and visibility of the field.

However, if you prefer a little more space or dislike being surrounded by large, energetic crowds, you may want to avoid sitting too close to the front rows.

Travel Tips

Getting there

NRG Stadium is located in the NRG Park complex in southern Houston, a short distance from downtown. There are a lot of transport options available to fans.

The best public transport option is the METRORail Red Line, which runs directly to the stadium. Fans can take the train to the NRG Park stop, which is opposite the venue. Service runs frequently on matchdays and is the easiest way to avoid traffic.

For rideshare users, designated pickup and drop-off zones are clearly signposted around the NRG Park complex. Allow extra time for surge pricing and post-match queues.

Flying in

The main airport is George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH), about 40 to 50 minutes from the stadium by car.

Houston is well served by direct flights from the UK, with British Airways and United Airlines among other airlines operating routes from London.

Where to stay

The NRG Park area has hotels within easy reach of the stadium. Downtown Houston is also around 20 minutes away and has more options for accommodation and a little more nightlife, with good METRORail connections to the ground on matchday.

The Midtown and Montrose neighbourhoods are also popular options for visitors looking for bars and restaurants within easy reach.

Matchday Tips

NRG Stadium is one of the larger World Cup venues, so there will be a lot of matchday crowds.

We recommend using the METRORail Red Line where possible, and make sure you allow extra time for post-match queues by arriving early.

Houston in June can also get very hot and humid, so staying hydrated and wearing light clothing is a must.

Houston's downtown area has plenty to do in the build-up to the match. Discovery Green is a popular outdoor park in the city and a great place for pre-match food and drinks.
