From international showdowns to marquee championship games, Miami is establishing itself as a key destination for major international sporting events.
This June, the destination welcomes the FIFA Club World Cup 2025, kicking off a historic new format that brings elite international teams like Real Madrid, FC Bayern Munich, Boca Juniors, and Inter Miami CF to Miami Gardens. Then in 2026, the momentum reaches new heights as Miami is one of 11 U.S. cities selected to host the FIFA™ World Cup, with seven matches, including a Quarter-Final and the Bronze Final scheduled at Hard Rock Stadium.
But soccer is just the beginning. From the NHL Winter Classic and College Football Playoff National Championship to the Miami Open, World Baseball Classic, Formula 1 Grand Prix, and the NASCAR Championship Race returning to Homestead, Miami is where the world of sports comes to compete, and convene.
In addition to world-class competitions across soccer, tennis, golf, baseball, motorsport, and more, Miami is also a top-tier hub for sports meetings, major industry conferences, and summits. Upcoming conferences like the Green Sports Alliance, Connect Sports Marketplace, Sports Summit Miami, and Sportel Miami continue to attract decision-makers across sports tourism, event planning, and venue development.
Thanks to its world-class venues, global accessibility, and hospitality excellence, Miami stands out as a natural choice for federations, leagues, and organizers looking to make an impact, whether it’s on the field or in the boardroom.
