The default instance, by default, listens on port 1433.

SQL Server can listen on multiple ports on the same IP address. For this you can list the ports separated by commas. For example: 1433,1533,1633. (Note: There is a limitation of 2047 characters.)

You can do this from Configuration Manager.

To configure SQL Server to listen on multiple ports, the Listen All parameter must also be set to No, on the Protocols Tab of the TCP/IP Properties dialog box.
