Puskás Ferenc Stadion station
M2 · Déli pályaudvar ↔ Örs vezér tere
Opened 2 April 1970
Puskás Ferenc Stadion — overview
In Budapest's 14th district, between Pillangó utca and Keleti pályaudvar, this station has had three names: Népstadion (People's Stadium) from 1970, Stadionok (Stadiums) from 2003 and Puskás Ferenc Stadion since 2011. It opened with the first section on 2 April 1970 – the ceremony launching the line was held right here – and was refurbished in 2007.
It is a shallow, just-below-the-surface station with four tracks and two island platforms. Trains normally use the outer tracks, while the inner pair end as stubs. That layout is a leftover of an abandoned plan to share a terminus here with the HÉV suburban line to Gödöllő. Two Socialist Realist domed halls once stood above it; a BKV office block now occupies the site.

Nearby attractions and places
This is the stop for Budapest’s sports quarter: the Puskás Aréna national stadium is nearby, as are the Papp László Budapest Sports Arena and the BOK sports hall. On match and concert days the station handles huge crowds; at other times it is far quieter. On the surface, tram 1 and trolleybuses 75, 77 and 80 link it with the surrounding districts.

Frequently asked questions
M2: step-free, with a lift down to the platform. This comes from BKK’s official timetable data (GTFS); a lift can be temporarily out of service, which the BudapestGO app shows.
It opened on 2 April 1970 as Népstadion, and it was originally meant to be M2’s eastern terminus – the line was extended to Örs vezér tere only because of the large housing estates being built further out. It was renamed Stadionok in 2003 and has been Puskás Ferenc Stadion since 2011.
M2: Towards Örs vezér tere the first is 4:47 and the last 0:07. Towards Déli pályaudvar the first is 4:32 and the last 23:52. At peak times trains run every 3–4 minutes.
