The stadium has no opening hours of its own. What opens is the Puskás Museum, seven days a week from 10:00 to 18:00, and the three Arena Tours a day that leave from it. This page has the hours, the tour times, the closures that catch people out, and how long to give 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, which makes that page the first thing to read before you fix a date.
Opening hours
The hours are the same all year and the same on every day of the week. 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.

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 day without an event. Because the museum opens seven days a week, the question is not weekday or weekend but whether there is a match or a concert that week, and the museum’s news page answers that.
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 2 hours for the museum and the Arena Tour together. Your timing depends on which ticket you buy.
Arena Tour only, about an hour
Be at the museum desk in good time for the 11:00, 13:30 or 15:00 start; the museum does not publish the tour’s length.
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 2 hours
The museum and the Arena Tour back to back, which is how the museum sold its joint tour.
