Miami

Miami is a city that naturally lives at the intersection of global cultures and elite sporting events, making it a perfect host for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Matches will be held at the vibrant Hard Rock Stadium, which will also have the honor of hosting the tournament's third-place play-off. Miami's connection to the global game is unparalleled in the US, with a population that represents nearly every footballing nation in the Western Hemisphere. The arrival of the World Cup will turn the 'Magic City' into a month-long international festival.

From the neon lights of South Beach to the street art of Wynwood and the authentic flavors of Little Havana, Miami offers a World Cup experience that is as much about lifestyle and culture as it is about football. The city's tropical climate and oceanfront setting provide a spectacular backdrop for the tournament. With a world-class hospitality industry and a proven track record of hosting massive events like the Super Bowl and Formula 1, Miami is ready to deliver a high-energy, glamour-filled World Cup experience for fans from across the globe.

Miami is served by Miami International Airport (MIA), one of the primary gateways to the Americas, located just a short distance from major hotel districts. The city's transportation options include the Metrorail and Metromover in the urban core, while the Brightline high-speed rail provides luxury connections to Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach. To reach Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, fans are encouraged to use ride-sharing services or the dedicated World Cup shuttles that will run from major fan zones. For those driving, pre-purchased stadium parking is essential for all international match dates.
