Portugal open their 2026-27 UEFA Nations League league phase at home to Wales on Thursday, September 24, with kick-off at Estadio Jose Alvalade in Lisbon set for 19:45 local time
Portugal arrive as the defending Nations League champions, having beaten Spain on penalties in the 2025 final to win the competition for the second time, and will be eager to begin their title defence with a home victory in Lisbon.
Estadio Jose Alvalade, Sporting's home ground, has hosted Portugal regularly in recent years, including their 2025 World Cup qualifiers against the Republic of Ireland and Hungary.
Here is everything you need to know about getting hold of a ticket for the game.

Official route: Via the Portuguese Football Federation
For Portugal supporters, the official route for home-match tickets is the Portuguese Football Federation's Bilheteira portal. Supporters should use the FPF's official ticketing platform or any other sales partner specifically authorised by the federation.
Tickets advertised through unofficial sellers carry a greater risk of fraud or invalid entry, so fans looking for seats in the Portugal sections should check the FPF Bilheteira first.
FAW and travelling Wales supporters
For Wales supporters, the official away-ticket route is through the Football Association of Wales (FAW), which secured an allocation of approximately 2,500 tickets for the match, including Category 3 seats in the Cymru end.
The FAW has already confirmed its allocation for the trip to Lisbon, with tickets distributed according to Red Wall membership and previous away-match attendance. Supporters can find the federation's full ticket information on the FAW website.
Tickets for the Wales allocation are handled through the FAW's official eTicketing platform.
The sales process was split into five stages, with priority given to supporters who had attended more previous Wales away matches before the final stage was opened to all 2026-28 Red Wall members. The final sales window ran from 1:30pm to 4pm on August 28.
Wales supporters who have already secured tickets should check their confirmation details carefully before travelling, while those who missed the FAW sales process should not assume that further official away tickets will be released.
How much are tickets and what are the categories?
The FAW confirmed that Category 3 tickets in the Cymru end cost £18 plus a £3 booking fee. A limited number of Category 1 tickets were also made available, although a separate price was not given in the FAW's initial ticket announcement.
For Portugal supporters, the exact home-ticket categories and prices should be checked through the FPF Bilheteira, as prices can vary between fixtures and seating areas.
Secondary market
If official tickets are no longer available, supporters may find seats on secondary-market platforms, although prices can be higher than face value and availability can change quickly.
Tickets for Portugal vs Wales are currently listed on StubHub and LiveFootballTickets.
Anyone buying through the resale market should check the seller's terms, delivery method, seat location and refund or guarantee policy before purchasing. Wales supporters who want to sit with the travelling support should also check that they are buying for the designated Cymru end rather than assuming a ticket elsewhere in the stadium will provide access to the away section.
