Miami has hosted Super Bowls, Formula One grands prix, and the Miami Open, but nothing in the city’s history compares to what arrives this summer. From June 15 through July 18, Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens hosts seven FIFA World Cup 2026 matches, group stage through the Bronze Final, making Miami one of the most consequential venues in the entire tournament.
Downtown, Bayfront Park transforms into the official FIFA Fan Festival for 23 straight days of free, waterfront celebration. And South Beach, Brickell, Wynwood, and the neighborhoods in between bring the kind of after-match energy no other host city on the roster can match. Here is how to plan the trip.
Hard Rock Stadium, officially called Miami Stadium for the duration of the tournament, is located in Miami Gardens about 20 miles north of South Beach, Miami Stadium holds more than 65,000 fans and comes equipped with a partial canopy roof, a meaningful detail when June and July temperatures regularly push into the high 80s.
The full Miami FIFA World Cup schedule:
- June 15: Saudi Arabia vs. Uruguay
- June 21: Uruguay vs. Cabo Verde
- June 24: Scotland vs. Brazil
- June 27: Colombia vs. Portugal
- July 3: Round of 32 – 1J vs. 2H

- July 18: Third-Place Match (Bronze Final)
The marquee fixtures are Brazil vs. Scotland on June 24 and the Colombia vs. Portugal evening kickoff on June 27, both expected to draw enormous traveling fan bases and sell out the surrounding neighborhood long before the opening whistle. The Quarterfinal on July 11 and the Bronze Final on July 18 round out a knockout-stage slate that makes Miami one of only a handful of cities hosting matches deep into the tournament…
