By Official Florida FC
Miami Gardens will host seven matches in the 2026 World Cup.
FIFA announced on Sunday that Hard Rock Stadium will host four group stage matches as well as a knockout round match, quarterfinal and the third-place match.
The third-place match will be July 18, one day prior to the July 19 final that will be played at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
Hard Rock Stadium will host group stage matches on June 15 (Match 13), June 21 (Match 37), June 24 (Match 49) and June 27 (Match 71).
The knockout matches will be on July 2 (Match 86) as well as a quarterfinal (Match 99) on July 11.
Miami Gardens is the only city in Florida that will host matches in the 2026 World Cup.
Other American cities that will host are: Atlanta, Boston, Dallas, Houston, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Seattle and Santa Clara.
The world’s best will descend on North America. We will have to wait until late 2025 to know who is playing where and when.
The only guarantee is that the United States, Canada and Mexico will compete in the tournament.
The United States men’s national team will play its group stage matches on the West Coast. Its first match is scheduled for Los Angeles on June 12. The team will play in Seattle for its second group stage match on June 19, then return to Southern California for its third group stage match on June 25.
Co-hosts Mexico will play its group stage matches in Mexico City and Guadalajara. Canada will kick off its World Cup campaign in Toronto on June 12, then head to Vancouver for its other group stage matches.
