Your 2026 guide to soccer matches in Miami
Where to stay, eat and explore in Miami Beach during match week
This summer, Miami is set to host the biggest showdown on the global soccer stage, with seven matches at the world-famous Hard Rock Stadium. There’s no better basecamp for the excitement than The Shelborne by Proper, an oceanside luxury destination that’ll help you unwind and relax between matches.
The Shelborne by Proper sits right on Collins Avenue, just steps away from the ocean. The hotel is surrounded by some of the city’s most walkable neighborhoods and offers plenty to do before and after each match. Depending on traffic, Hard Rock Stadium is a 30- to 60-minute drive, allowing you to easily access the matches before returning to the tranquility of your beachside paradise.

Things to do in Miami Beach between Matches
One of the biggest advantages of staying in South Beach is how easy it is to fill the time between games.
Miami’s South Beach Boardwalk is perfect for a morning walk or run, especially early, before the beach fills up. Architecture lovers can spend hours exploring the South Beach Art Deco District, much of which can be witnessed right outside our hotel doors. Shops, galleries, and places to stop for coffee or lunch line Collins Avenue.
For a slower pace, relax on the beach. You can rent a cabana for privacy at our Pool Deck. Explore the Miami Beach Botanical Garden for free, or simply catch the sunset at the marina.
These in-between moments often turn out to be the most memorable parts of the trip.
