The most coveted cup competition in sports is coming to Miami Gardens next year, with multiple Central and South American teams having already drawn games in South Florida.
Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens will host seven matches during the 2026 World Cup, the first Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) tournament to include 48 teams. And with the first match coming June 15, many are likely wondering how to obtain tickets, which have fluctuated in price on various sites since going on sale.
How to Buy Tickets to Miami World Cup Matches
Tickets can be found on FIFA’s website, with prices skyrocketing to over $2,000 after initially releasing at a starting price of $60. Ticket sales sites like Seatgeek, Stubhub, and Vividseats, however, offer much lower prices for Miami matches. But seats are vanishing fast, so grab them while you can.
Will you step up to support New Times this year?
At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $16,750 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.

The matchup between Scotland and Brazil features two of the sporting world’s most fervent fan bases, so it’s understandable to see ticket prices for their game rise so high. Brazil is the only nation to feature in all 22 iterations of the quadrennial World Cup. Scotland, on the other hand, has only qualified for eight tournaments and has drawn five-time winners Brazil in five tournaments. It’s consequently one of the most common World Cup matchups in history.
Prices on secondary ticket platforms, however, seem to be much more affordable, with prices fluctuating since last week. StubHub tickets run marginally cheaper than those on Vividseats and SeatGeek.
