There may be no better place in America to experience the World Cup this summer than Miami. As one of the official host cities for the FIFA World Cup 2026, the Magic City is preparing for a month of nonstop soccer. Argentina jerseys will casually appear at cafecito windows, every other conversation will somehow turn into a Messi debate, and entire neighborhoods will collectively lose their minds during penalty kicks. From Brickell rooftops and Wynwood patios to Ocean Drive sports bars and longtime Latin American restaurants, Miami is ready to turn every match into a party. And there are endless spots to watch the World Cup in Miami this year.
The action officially begins Thursday, June 11, when Mexico faces South Africa in Mexico City at 3 p.m., a match that is sure to pack bars and restaurants across Miami. Then on June 12, the United States takes on Paraguay, kicking off what promises to be a month of nonstop soccer fever in the Magic City.
This makes perfect sense for a city shaped by cultures from across Latin America, the Caribbean, and Europe. Soccer has always been woven into Miami life long before Lionel Messi arrived at Inter Miami. Whether it’s families gathering around TVs for Colombia matches, packed bars chanting for Mexico, or Brazilian flags suddenly appearing all over the beach, the energy has always been here. But once the World Cup starts, the energy here becomes impossible to ignore.
Of course, not everyone will be lucky enough to score tickets to matches at Hard Rock Stadium. Thankfully, bars, restaurants, and rooftops across Miami are stepping up with giant screens, themed cocktails, DJs, beer buckets, and watch parties that might honestly be just as entertaining as the matches themselves. Below, we’ve rounded up some of our favorite bars and restaurants to watch the 2026 World Cup in Miami.
Amazónico Miami
If your idea of a World Cup watch party involves more than sticky floors and sad chicken tenders, Amazónico Miami is taking match day to a whole new level this summer. The Brickell hotspot is turning its lush second-floor lounge into a chic FIFA viewing destination complete with giant game screenings, signature cocktails, Latin-inspired bites, and enough energy to make you forget you’re technically not in São Paulo or Madrid. Guests can reserve tables through OpenTable and upgrade the experience with bottomless drink packages starting at $50, including beer and a full bar, plus a very Miami Dom Pérignon option for $245. Honestly, watching the World Cup while sipping cocktails under disco balls in one of Brickell’s prettiest dining rooms feels exactly like the kind of chaos Miami was made for. 800 Brickell Ave., Miami; 645-222-2000; amazonicorestaurant.com.

If there’s one place guaranteed to turn a World Cup match into a full-on party, it’s probably Andrés Carne de Res Miami.

The biggest celebration is expected on June 26, ahead of the highly anticipated Colombia vs. Portugal match, which honestly sounds destined to be one of the loudest nights of the tournament in Miami Beach. Between the dancing, football chants, and nonstop festivities, this feels less like casually watching soccer and more like getting swept into a giant Latin American street festival with TVs everywhere. 455 Lincoln Rd, Miami Beach; 786-843-5910; andresmiami.us.
