Hard Rock Stadium, Miami
Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida, brings the colour and energy of one of the world's great multicultural cities to the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Hosting seven matches, including group stage games for Brazil and Portugal, it is one of the most versatile venues in the competition, with a track record of hosting major international events that is second to none.
Stadium Overview
Hard Rock Stadium opened in 1987 in Miami Gardens, Florida, and underwent a transformative $350 million renovation completed in 2016. It has a World Cup capacity of 65,000 and is the permanent home of the NFL's Miami Dolphins. The renovation added an open air canopy roof that provides shade across all seating areas, new party terraces, entirely new seating, giant LED video boards and comprehensively upgraded hospitality throughout. The stadium sits approximately 16 miles north of downtown Miami.

Copa América and CONCACAF Gold Cup matches have also taken place here, giving the venue proven international football credentials. Party terrace areas, multiple club and suite levels and the wider Hard Rock complex create an exceptional match day environment.
Seating Guide
The 2016 renovation restructured Hard Rock Stadium's seating to bring fans closer to the pitch and improve viewing throughout. The lower bowl, particularly the sideline sections, offers the most direct experience. The party terrace areas introduced in the renovation are a distinctive feature for social spaces with bar access and pitch views that create a festival atmosphere unlike standard seating sections. The club level provides premium covered seating with lounge access. The upper deck delivers wide panoramic views of the full pitch and the Florida skyline beyond. Family sections and accessible seating are available across multiple areas of the bowl.
