FC Porto opens 2026/27 season-ticket renewals with Dragão changes | OneFootball

The new season is getting closer and, with it, comes the chance to secure a seat for every FC Porto home game. At the end of June, members with an Annual Seat for 2025/26 will be able to renew it for another year.

There are, however, several new developments to consider. Following the partnership signed with Ithaka, the Estádio do Dragão is undergoing renovation works aimed at improving the fan experience, enhancing hospitality services and creating new revenue streams.

The increase in hospitality seating does not mean a reduction in the stadium’s total capacity, but it will affect some Annual Seat holders in specific areas of the central stands: sector 1 of Central Poente, row 33 of Central Nascente Premium, Tribuna and Box Nascente.

Annual Seat holders in sector 1 of Central Poente and row 33 of Central Nascente Premium will automatically receive new seats in the same area. Once renewal has been confirmed, these members will have exclusive access to a switching period from 9 to 13 July.

Annual Seat holders in Tribuna or Box Nascente who wish to remain in the new Nascente hospitality area (Platinum, Silver, Bronze Club or Bronze) will benefit from a discount linked to the length of time they have held their Annual Seat, which may be as much as 30% and will be valid for ten years. If they do not wish to remain in the same area, they may purchase a new seat in another part of the stadium during an exclusive sales phase running from 9 to 13 July.

All these members will be contacted individually by email to learn about the available alternatives and will have priority rights after the renewal period.

For all other Annual Seat holders, the switching period will run from 16 to 20 July – when seats may become available for members on the waiting list.

A new zoning model

The return to the stadium’s original concept also includes an update to the zoning model – with greater consistency between price, location, visibility and comfort.

This means that, from 2026/27 onwards, the distinction will be made between just three stands: Upper (North and South), Central Stand (Nascente and Poente) and Lower Tier (Nascente and Poente).

In each stand, prices vary according to the seat’s location in relation to the pitch: seats in the front rows will be cheaper in the Central Stand and more expensive in the Lower Tier; seats farther from the halfway line will be cheaper in both the Central Stand and the Lower Tier; in the Upper stands prices will be uniform.

In the coming days, FC Porto members will be able to follow all the information related to the 2026/27 Annual Seat through the Club’s official channels.
