Hard Rock Stadium
Miami, United States · Capacity: 65,000
Hard Rock Stadium hosts seven matches in 2026, including a quarter-final, and serves as the South Florida hub of the tournament. Located in Miami Gardens, north of Miami proper, the venue opened in 1987 (extensively renovated in 2016) and seats approximately 65,000 for football. Home to the Miami Dolphins and the Miami Open tennis tournament, it has decades of major-event experience. Climate is the chief variable: South Florida summers combine extreme heat (33-35°C), 80%+ humidity, and the highest thunderstorm-risk window in North America. The stadium's open-roof canopy provides spectator cover but does not enclose the playing surface. Miami's Spanish-speaking population — over 70% Hispanic — and direct flight access from Latin America make Hard Rock the natural staging ground for South American supporters during the group stage.
