Hard Rock Stadium (Miami)

Open-air stadium with a roof canopy in the City of Miami Gardens (part of the Miami metro area). Standard capacity is about 65,300+ for major soccer events; FIFA may adjust seating for pitch fit, but no alternate tournament configuration has been formally published for Miami.

Three primary seating tiers (100/200/300) with club and suite areas integrated on the 100s and 200s. The pitch will be natural grass for World Cup matches under FIFA standards, supported by FIFA’s dedicated pitch program to ensure uniform playing conditions across venues. A 626,000-sq-ft roof canopy covers the bowl and is designed to shade approximately 92% of fans while keeping the field open to the elements, boosting acoustics without fully enclosing the stadium. Premium spaces include The 72 Club presented by Broxel, The Nine, West Endzone Club, Theater Boxes, and field-level suites.

Conditions tip: most seats are shaded, but plan for warm, humid conditions typical of South Florida summers; bring an approved empty clear bottle to refill once inside.

• Concessions & water. The venue is cashless throughout. Per FIFA’s Stadium Code of Conduct, empty, transparent, reusable plastic bottles up to 1 liter (33.8 oz) are allowed; closed containers (bottles/cans) are generally prohibited inside after screening. No alcohol cutoff has been published for World Cup matches.
• Merch & payments. On-site retail and kiosks operate on event days; all purchases are cashless (use credit/debit or mobile pay).
• Facilities. First Aid stations are typically located at/near Sections 104, 218, and 346 (subject to event operations). Nursing Mothers’ rooms and a Bose Sensory Room are available at the stadium.
• Accessibility. Wheelchair-accessible seating is available in multiple sections; the venue notes mobility assistance from outer lots on request. Accessible parking is first-come, first-served with a valid placard and matching ID.

For World Cup 26™, FIFA’s Stadium Code of Conduct governs entry items. Only clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC bags up to 12 x 6 x 12 inches (30 x 15 x 30 cm) are permitted. Small non-clear clutches/wallets approximately the size of a hand, up to 4.5 x 6.5 inches (11 x 16.5 cm), are allowed. Other bags (backpacks, opaque totes, oversized items) are prohibited unless expressly authorized by Event Organizers; you may be directed to deposit or dispose of non-compliant items.

All attendees are subject to security screening at entry. Re-entry is not permitted once you leave the stadium except in exceptional circumstances at FIFA’s discretion. Possession of cigarettes and electronic smoking devices is allowed, but use of smoking/vaping (including heated tobacco devices) is not permitted inside the stadium. Tickets for World Cup 26™ are mobile tickets delivered via the tournament app; have your device and ticket ready for inspection.

Follow the FIFA Stadium Code of Conduct: arrive early, use the entrance listed on your ticket, and be ready for screening. Gates open at the time indicated by event organizers or on your ticket.

Miami’s summer heat and humidity are real—light clothing, sunscreen, and an approved empty clear bottle (up to 1 liter) make the day easier. The canopy shades most seats and helps the sound pop; ear protection for young fans can be helpful in louder sections.
