Miami Stadium(Hard Rock Stadium)
"The Rock" - capacity 64,767
Know Before You Go
Miami Stadium is the official FIFA World Cup 2026 name for Hard Rock Stadium. FIFA strips commercial sponsor branding from host venues for the duration of the tournament, so on match tickets, broadcast graphics and the official fixture list the venue appears as Miami Stadium. Locals will keep calling it Hard Rock Stadium the rest of the year.
Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida has undergone a $650 million renovation that added a striking canopy roof and dramatically improved the fan experience. Home to the Miami Dolphins and host of multiple Super Bowls, this venue blends Miami's tropical energy with world-class sports infrastructure.
