Miami’s World Cup 2026 match schedule released

Miami’s full slate of FIFA World Cup 2026 matches is now official, following the global tournament’s Final Draw and the publication of the complete schedule. The release marks a major step toward what will be the biggest World Cup in history — and an especially exciting moment for South Florida’s diverse community, including its large Caribbean-American population.

The 2026 tournament—spread across 16 host cities in Canada, Mexico, and the United States—will feature a record 104 matches. Organizers say the schedule was designed to cut travel for teams and fans while maximizing rest days between games. Kickoff times have also been finalized with the goal of creating the best possible conditions for players, in-stadium spectators and global audiences.

Miami prepares for seven matches

The Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens will stage seven matches, including four in the Group Stage, as the city gears up to welcome Brazil, Cabo Verde, Colombia, Portugal, Saudi Arabia, Scotland and Uruguay to South Florida next year.

Those fixtures include:

  • Match 13 – Monday, June 15, 2026 at 6 p.m. ET: KSA vs URU (Group H)

  • Match 37 – Sunday, June 21, 2026 at 6 p.m. ET: URU vs CPV (Group H)

“Miami is ready to welcome the world,” said Alina Hudak, President & CEO of the FIFA World Cup 26 Miami Host Committee. “Our city represents the very essence of global fútbol culture, and hosting these FIFA World Cup 2026 matches will be a celebration of our diversity, passion, and world-class hospitality. This will be a moment our community remembers for generations.”

Ticket sales

The full match schedule for all 104 games is now available at FIFA.com.

Fans will get another chance to apply for tickets when the next sales window—the Random Selection Draw—opens on Dec. 11 and runs through Jan. 13, 2026 at FIFA.com/tickets. Officials note that the timing of an application within that period does not affect the chance of being selected. Successful or partially successful applicants will be notified by email and charged for their tickets in February. Nearly two million tickets have already been made available and purchased across the first two sales phases.

Supporters looking for guaranteed access to specific matches can explore hospitality packages, which include game tickets and are available through On Location at FIFA.com/hospitality.
