The stadium has no opening hours of its own. What opens is the Puskás Museum, Tuesday to Sunday from 10:00 to 18:00, and the three Arena Tours a day that leave from it.
The complication is the event calendar. A stadium that hosts the national team, cup finals and stadium concerts is closed to visitors whenever one of those is being set up or played, and the closures run from a single day to more than a month. The museum announces every one on its news page, so read that before you fix a date.
Opening hours
The museum is closed on Mondays and keeps the same hours all year on the other six days. Last tickets are sold at 17:00, and the museum asks everyone to leave by 18:00. Tours leave at 11:00, 13:30 and 15:00, Tuesday to Sunday.

Best times to visit
Time of day
Take the 11:00 tour. It is the first of the day, the museum has only just opened, and you are done by early afternoon with time to walk on to City Park. The 15:00 tour is the last one, so if you want the museum as well on a Combined ticket, do the museum first and the tour last.
Day of the week
Any Tuesday to Sunday with no event on. The museum and the tours are closed on Mondays. On the other six days, weekday or weekend makes no difference. What matters is whether there is a match or a concert that week, and the museum’s news page will tell you.
Season
Hungary’s home internationals fall in the international windows through autumn and spring, and stadium concerts mostly in summer, so the closures do too. The museum is indoors and the stands are under the roof, so winter works well.
How long to spend
We would allow about two and a half hours for the museum and the Arena Tour together. Your timing depends on which ticket you buy.
Arena Tour only, an hour to an hour and a half
Be at the museum desk early for the 11:00, 13:30 or 15:00 start, because in summer the next tour with places can be a couple of hours away.
Museum only, about an hour
Longer if you follow the full audioguide or add the guided museum tour at 12:00 or 13:30.
Museum + Arena Insight, a little over an hour
The museum, then a look at the bowl from the stands.
Combined ticket, about two and a half hours
The museum and the Arena Tour back to back.
