“Houston is Reliant’s home, and a name Texans know and trust,” Brad Bentley, head of NRG Consumer and Reliant, said. “For more than two decades, Reliant has powered the moments that bring our community together-from the Texans’ first game and hosting two Super Bowls to every unforgettable RODEOHOUSTON performance in between. Fans have told us what this place means to them. For many, it’s always been Reliant Stadium. We heard them loud and clear. Reliant Stadium is back.”
NRG Stadium was originally named Reliant Stadium for its inaugural year in 2002, but was later renamed to NRG in 2014.
In just a few months, Houston will host seven FIFA World Cup 2026 matches from June 14 to July 4.
