If you missed your chance to buy tickets for the World Cup's Miami matches, fret not — there are still a few ways to get in before the action kicks off at Hard Rock Stadium
The 2026 FIFA World Cup is coming to South Florida, and Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens will host seven matches spanning from group-stage play through the Third-Place Match. The initial ticket sale went fast. But you're not alone — plenty of people are turning to the resale market right now, and if you know where to look and what to expect, you can still find your way in.
The prices on resale sites reflect the hype — these matches went fast. But there are still real options, especially if you're flexible about which match you attend. Between StubHub, Ticketmaster, FIFA's official resale platform, and SeatGeek, inventory moves regularly as the tournament gets closer. This guide walks you through where to look, what to expect price-wise, and how to lock in your tickets safely.

Hard Rock Stadium is located in Miami Gardens, about 20 miles north of downtown Miami. Getting there means driving or using rideshare — Miami doesn't have practical rail access directly to the venue. Parking is available but fills up on match days, so show up early. Heat and humidity are real in June and July — temperatures hit the low 90s regularly, with thick humidity. Bring sunscreen, water, and light-colored clothes. Arrive at least 90 minutes before kickoff to get through security and find your seat without stress.
Where Can You Still Get Tickets?
StubHub — This is your primary destination for resale. The Miami World Cup page gathers all seven matches in one place. StubHub's FanProtect guarantee covers 120% of your ticket price if something goes wrong and you don't get valid tickets in time. Prices shift constantly, so check back regularly if you're flexible on dates.
Ticketmaster Verified Resale — Another official channel with authenticated inventory. Browse the World Cup portal here. Verified sellers list tickets at transparent prices.
Fans can also look for tickets via SeatGeek, where you can use promo code SEATGEEK10 to save $10 off your first order of over $150.
FIFA Resale/Exchange Marketplace — Check FIFA.com/tickets for officially sanctioned resale. Tickets transfer within FIFA's system directly, with no third-party middleman involved.
reddit / fan communities — Subreddits like r/worldcup and r/InterMiamiCF have active ticket discussions. Be aware: there's no formal buyer protection on reddit's peer-to-peer trades. Only deal with accounts that have solid community history, and never use Venmo, Cash App, or Zelle.
What Are Tickets Going For?
Miami pricing varies significantly by match. The Brazil match on June 24th and the Colombia vs. Portugal clash on June 27th are the two biggest draws — both command premium prices due to the passionate fanbases and quality of play expected.
Brazil and Colombia marquee matches: $200–$1,500+ per ticket, depending on seat location.
Saudi Arabia vs. Uruguay and Uruguay vs. Cape Verde: $100–$300 per ticket. These matches still deliver real international soccer but draw smaller crowds, making them more affordable.
Knockout rounds (Round of 32 and Quarterfinal): $150–$800+ per ticket, depending on which teams advance.
Third-Place Match (July 18th): $80–$400 per ticket. This is your best budget option. It's technically a knockout fixture, but it lacks the prestige and buzz of the Final — so prices stay lower. If you want the World Cup experience in Miami without the premium price tag, this match is often your sweet spot.
Service fees on StubHub and Ticketmaster typically add 20–40% on top of listed prices. A $300 ticket becomes $360–$420 after fees. Factor that in before you commit.
Should You Consider a Nearby City Instead?
Comparing Miami to other nearby venues: Atlanta's Mercedez-Benz Stadium sits 660 miles away and hosts World Cup matches, but that's too far for a day trip. New York/New Jersey's MetLife Stadium is 1,280 miles north and features even pricier matches due to the Final being there. If you're in South Florida, Hard Rock Stadium is your realistic option — and the prices here are reasonable compared to the absolute premium you'd pay in New York.
Strategic Tips for Buying
- Check StubHub and Ticketmaster Verified Resale multiple times each day — new listings appear constantly, especially in the morning and late evening as sellers adjust their prices. You might spot something perfect if you're checking regularly.
- Compare prices across all seven Miami match dates before committing — the Saudi Arabia vs. Uruguay and Uruguay vs. Cape Verde group-stage matches run significantly cheaper than Brazil or Colombia fixtures. If you're flexible on which match you see, you can save hundreds by choosing off-peak dates.
- Set up price alerts on StubHub for specific Miami matches — the platform will notify you when prices drop below your target. This is especially useful for knockout rounds, where pricing can swing once the teams are determined.
- Move quickly when you find a price that works — hesitating while hunting for a slightly better deal means losing that listing entirely. World Cup tickets don't get significantly cheaper as the tournament approaches. When you find something in your budget, take it.
- Stick to platforms with formal buyer-guarantee programs. StubHub's FanProtect, Ticketmaster Verified Resale, and FIFA's official Resale/Exchange Marketplace all have your back. If you're exploring reddit's r/worldcup or r/InterMiamiCF, only work with established accounts, never pay through Venmo or Cash App, and ignore any listing priced way below market — those are scams. World Cup tickets attract fraudsters. Treat deals that seem too good to be true exactly that way.
About the Tournament
The 2026 FIFA World Cup is the first to expand to 48 teams and 104 matches, up from the 32-team format that's been the standard since 1998. It runs June 11th through July 19th across 16 host cities in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Miami is one of the premium US venues, hosting seven matches that span the entire tournament arc — from early group play all the way through knockout football. This is world-class soccer coming to your backyard.
