Houston at the 2026 World Cup

Houston brings heat (literally — averages of 33°C / 91°F in June) and a deep Mexican-American fan base. NRG Stadium sits next to the Astrodome in a massive parking sea; Hermann Park, the Museum District, and Rice Village are the walkable neighborhoods.

Getting around on match day

IAH is a 45-minute drive south to NRG; Hobby (HOU) is closer at 30 min. METRORail Red Line goes straight from downtown to the stadium in 20 min — by far the simplest match-day option.
