How to get tickets for the Copa America 2024 at NRG Stadium in Houston?

There are several matches taking place at NRG Stadium in Houston. Choose from Mexico, Jamaica, Colombia or Paraguay and you can see when those matches are taking place.

On the other hand, keep in mind that the Copa America 2024 schedule also coincides with the American summer and that one of the teams that will be in Houston will be Mexico, which has a large fan base in Texas, so I advise you to buy your tickets as far in advance as possible.

In total, Houston's NRG Stadium will host three matches, two in the group stage and one in the quarterfinals. In Group B, Mexico and Jamaica will meet on June 22 at 8 p.m., while in Group D, Colombia will face Paraguay on June 24 at 5 p.m. in the opening match of the initial phase.

Houston will also host one of the quarterfinal matches, which will determine the first semifinalist on July 4 at 8 p.m. and will pit the winner of Group A against the second-place finisher from Group B. The defending champion Argentina and Mexico, which will have strong fan support at NRG Stadium due to the large Mexican community in the region, could be in the crossroads.

Dates and times of Copa América matches in Houston

Houston will host CONMEBOL and CONCACAF teams, so it will have some of the best matchups of the Copa America 2024. Mexico, Jamaica, Colombia and Paraguay, representatives of groups B and D, will be there looking for a place in the knockout stage of the tournament.

Mexico

Mexico will be the main protagonist in Houston, due to the fact that Texas has one of the largest Mexican immigrant communities in the world. As a representative of CONCACAF, it is the most successful of its confederation's teams in the history of the Copa America and in the 2024 edition it will be looking to give the final blow and leave behind the two lost finals in 1993 and 2001, so buying tickets for Mexico's match against Jamaica is a very good option.

• Number of Copa América participations... 11 editions.
• Best result in Copa América... runner-up twice, in 1993 and 2001.
• Last Copa América result... eliminated in the first round in the 2015 edition.

Jamaica

Jamaica was previously invited to the Copa América three times, but never made it past the group stage. In 2024 it will match up with Mexico, Ecuador and Venezuela in a very complicated group in which it will seek to qualify for the knockout stage for the first time. Their performance is one of the great unknowns of the tournament, but, for this reason, I recommend you to buy your Jamaica vs. Mexico tickets because surprises are guaranteed.

• Number of participations in Copa América... 3 editions.
• Best result in Copa América... first round, last time in 2016.
• Last Copa América result... first round in 2016.

Colombia

Colombia is a historic team in Copa América and even managed to win the title in the 2001 edition that had them as hosts, but in recent years they have dropped a lot in their level and need a good performance to get on track for the future. As a background, in order to buy a ticket for the Colombia vs. Paraguay match, it comes with a third place in 2021.

• Number of participations in Copa América... 23 editions.
• Best result in Copa América... one time champion in the 2021 edition.
• Last result in Copa América... third in the 2021 edition.

Paraguay

Two-time Copa América champions and frequent entertainers in the South American qualifiers, Paraguay is another team that has been in the doldrums due to recent results. Its last great continental performance was in 2011, when it lost the final to Uruguay. In 2024 they will be looking for a resurgence in a very complicated and demanding group, so don't delay in buying your tickets for Paraguay vs

• Number of participations in Copa América... 38 editions.
• Best result in Copa América... champion in 2 occasions, the last one in 1979.
• Last result in Copa América... quarterfinalist in the 2021 edition.

Houston will host the Copa America at NRG Stadium, a 72,000-seat venue that is one of the largest in the tournament and has already hosted several large events, including two Super Bowls, five CONCACAF Gold Cups and three Copa America 2016 matches, including the semifinal in which Argentina defeated the U.S.

. Since its inauguration in 2002, it has also been the home of the NFL's Houston Texans, one of the frequent entertainers of the AFC South division. In 2026, it will also be one of the venues for the World Cup to be jointly organized by the U.S., Mexico and Canada, and was proposed as one of the possible stadiums for the final, although it has not yet been defined.

Due to its location, relatively close to downtown Houston, NRG Stadium is very accessible by means of transportation and even by private car, since it has one of the largest parking lots of any American stadium. It also has a retractable roof, allowing you to enjoy your Copa America tickets during very hot or rainy days.

What are the best locations at NRG Stadium?

NRG Stadium is one of the largest of the stadiums hosting Copa America and, like the other major U.S. venues, is distinguished by its visibility. However, as it has a quadrangular design with three concourses, it is the lower level that offers the best perspective and the closest to the field. Likewise, in the intermediate sectors you can find luxury seats and VIP boxes.

If you want to save money, you can bet on buying tickets for the Copa America in the upper sectors of the stadium, which are usually cheaper because they are the farthest from the field.

How to get to NRG Stadium?

• By bus... you can get there from downtown Houston on bus lines 32, 56, 84, 151 and 229 for about 30 minutes.
• By METRORail... you can get there from downtown Houston on the Red line in about 25 minutes.
• By car... you can get there via I-69 in about 15 minutes.

When purchasing Copa America tickets in Houston, keep the following information in mind:

• Houston is one of the most important venues for the championship and has a large Mexican community, so it is possible that tickets for the Mexico vs. Jamaica match will sell out quickly.
• If you buy tickets in advance, you will be able to get better rates, since prices in the U.S. tend to be dynamic and tickets will increase in price on dates close to each of the matches.
• If you are looking for cheap tickets, you can opt for the upper sections, which are the farthest from the field and the cheapest.
• The games at NRG Stadium are played at 5 p.m. and 8 p.m., so if you plan to participate in other activities in the city, you should take into account the starting time so as not to miss any detail, especially considering that access to the stadium could be collapsed due to the large number of fans.

If you are looking to experience a Copa America game and are not interested in watching a specific team, in the event that you are unable to get tickets to games at NRG Stadium, you may want to consider nearby alternatives. Texas will host three venues in total and, in addition to Houston, will also host matches at:

• AT&T Stadium, where for Group C the United States will play against Bolivia, so you will have the opportunity to experience the atmosphere of the local fans. It is one of the largest and most technologically advanced stadiums in Copa America, so visiting it is a spectacle in itself.
• Q2 Stadium in Austin.
