The 2026 FIFA World Cup is the biggest in history — 48 teams, 104 matches, and 16 host cities across the United States, Canada and Mexico, running from June 11 to July 19, 2026. Miami is one of the marquee American host cities. This complete guide covers everything you need to plan your trip, from which World Cup games will be in Miami to the latest World Cup Miami tickets price and how to actually get to the stadium.
Is the World Cup still happening?
Yes — the 2026 FIFA World Cup is firmly on track and proceeding as planned. The tournament kicks off June 11, 2026 in Mexico City and concludes with the final on July 19, 2026 in the New York/New Jersey area. Miami’s slate of matches runs from June 15 through July 18. Despite the occasional rumor, there is no indication the event is at risk; planning and ticket sales are well underway worldwide.
Which World Cup games will be in Miami?
All Miami matches are played at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, which FIFA refers to as “Miami Stadium” during the tournament. The venue hosts seven matches in total: four group-stage games, a Round of 32 match, a quarterfinal, and the third-place Bronze Final. Here is the confirmed Miami World Cup schedule:
- June 15 — Saudi Arabia vs. Uruguay (Group stage, 6:00 p.m. ET)
- June 21 — Uruguay vs. Cape Verde (Group stage, 6:00 p.m. ET)
- June 24 — Scotland vs. Brazil (Group stage, 6:00 p.m. ET)
- June 27 — Colombia vs. Portugal (Group stage, 7:30 p.m. ET)
- July 3 — Round of 32 (6:00 p.m. ET)
- July 11 — Quarterfinal
- July 18 — Bronze Final (third-place match)
The headline group-stage fixtures are Scotland vs. Brazil on June 24 and Colombia vs. Portugal on June 27 — the latter pairing two of the world’s biggest stars and fan bases, making it the hottest ticket of Miami’s group stage.
World Cup Miami tickets price: what to expect
FIFA introduced dynamic pricing for the first time at a World Cup, so prices move with demand rather than staying fixed. Official face-value group-stage tickets started as low as $60, while the most expensive seats for the final reached $6,730. In practice, demand for Miami’s matches has pushed real prices much higher — popular fixtures such as Scotland vs. Brazil have traded well above $1,000.
On the resale market, tickets for World Cup Miami have been listed from roughly $260 for upper-tier seats, with averages across Miami matches landing in the low thousands of dollars depending on the game and the seat. Knockout matches and the marquee group games command the steepest premiums. If you want a specific match, booking sooner protects you from late-stage price spikes.
A few rules worth knowing: purchases through official channels are capped at four tickets per match and 40 per person for the whole tournament, and tickets bought from unauthorized resellers may not be valid for entry.
How to get World Cup Miami tickets
Official single-match tickets are sold through FIFA, while ticket-inclusive hospitality packages — premium seats with lounges, dining and fast entry — are sold exclusively by On Location, FIFA’s official hospitality provider, and its authorized sales agents. With single tickets largely sold out through the main draw phases, hospitality packages and verified resale have become the primary routes to guaranteed seats. Always buy through official or verified channels to avoid invalid tickets.
How to get to Hard Rock Stadium
Hard Rock Stadium sits about 16 miles north of downtown Miami, and traffic on match days is heavy. The smoothest option for most visitors is Brightline rail to Aventura station, then the complimentary event shuttle that connects directly to the stadium in about 15 minutes. Park-and-ride lots with express shuttles, Metrorail-plus-Metrobus routes, and rideshare drop-off zones round out the options. Stadium parking is largely sold out, and pre-booked FIFA parking can run up to $175. Plan to arrive two to three hours before kickoff.
Beyond the stadium
Miami turns the World Cup into a citywide festival. The free FIFA Fan Festival at Bayfront Park runs through early July with giant screens, concerts and activations on Biscayne Bay. Expect rooftop watch parties, beach events and pop-ups across South Beach, Brickell and Wynwood. Bring lightweight clothing — June and July in Miami are hot and humid, with frequent afternoon showers.
