Here is everything we know about the World Cup matches in Houston, including dates, start times and locations.

All 2026 Houston World Cup matches have been revealed, featuring teams and players from around the world. Here is the schedule.

Drivers on Highway 59 might catch the newly installed soccer balls out of the corner of their eye as they race down the road or sit in Houston's notorious traffic. What is now a blip of World Cup buzz should grow into a highlight by June 11, when infrastructure projects are finished and the first World Cup match in Houston begins at NRG Stadium.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal are scheduled to play twice in Houston during the group stage, when Germany and the Netherlands also have matches at NRG Stadium. Tickets will not be cheap.

Six of the seven 2026 FIFA World Cup matches at NRG Stadium in Houston next summer will kick off at noon. Why?

As Houston gears up to welcome the FIFA World Cup, excitement is building far beyond the stadiums. Local businesses, restaurants, and the tourism sector are preparing for a major economic surge — and Airbnb hosts say they’re ready to cash in.

Soccer fans eager to catch the FIFA World Cup opening matches next year will be hit with sky-high costs, as hotels in the 16 host cities across the United States, Canada, and Mexico hike rates by more than 300% — with one city topping $3,000 a night, a new report found.

The groups are set! Tomorrow, we find out which teams will be playing in Houston when the World Cup begins in the summer!
