ONE YEAR OUT: COUNTDOWN TO FIFA WORLD CUP 26™ IN MIAMI BEGINS
Greater Miami and Miami Beach Solidify Position as Global Sports Capital MIAMI, June 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- This week marks one year until FIFA World Cup 26™ action arrives in Greater Miami and Miami Beach—with seven electrifying matches set for Hard Rock Stadium (to be named Miami Stadium during the matches) in Miami Gardens. The destination is already at the epicenter of international sports. From the FIFA Club World Cup kicking off this week to marquee annual events like the Capital One Orange Bowl, Miami Open and Miami Marathon—and a blockbuster lineup of international tournaments on the horizon—Miami continues to prove itself as a global magnet for world-class competition. This summer, Greater Miami will host legendary clubs—including Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Boca Juniors, and Inter Miami—for the FIFA Club World Cup (June 14–July 13). These matches will help heat up the atmosphere ahead of World Cup 2026, when seven matches—spanning the Group Stage through Quarterfinal and Bronze Final—will bring fans to Miami Stadium starting June 15, 2026. "Today marks more than just a countdown—it's a celebration of Greater Miami's role on the world stage," said David Whitaker, President & CEO of the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau (GMCVB). "The road to the FIFA World Cup 26™ runs right through our vibrant and globally connected community. Over the next year alone, we'll host everything from the FIFA Club World Cup and the NHL Winter Classic to the College Football National Championship, the World Baseball Classic, and the NASCAR Championship. Very few destinations can deliver that breadth of global competition in such an iconic, culturally rich setting. Miami has become a magnet for the most prestigious sporting events on the planet—not just because of our world-class venues, but because of the energy and unforgettable experiences that only this destination can offer." Miami stands out as one of the most vibrant and energetic destinations on the FIFA World Cup 26™ circuit. Its strong Latin American and Caribbean influences fuel a unique atmosphere—where spontaneous street celebrations, colorful fan gatherings, and nightlife that stretches into the early morning are part of the experience. In Miami, it's not uncommon to spend the afternoon at a world-class match and the evening relaxing by the ocean or cruising on the bay. This effortless mix of global sports excitement and tropical leisure creates a travel experience that's unlike anywhere else. A Year-Round Powerhouse for Global Events: Beyond the FIFA World Cup 26™, Miami's sports calendar is packed with elite events that continue to elevate its global stature.

To learn how sporting occasions in Miami become an opportunity to immerse in tropical lifestyle and sustained tourism: visit HERE. A Legacy of World-Class Hosting: Greater Miami's ability to attract global competition isn't new - it's rooted in decades of proven success: Miami has hosted a record-tying 11 Super Bowls, a testament to its infrastructure and hospitality. It remains the only destination to host all three rounds of the World Baseball Classic - the First Round, Second Round, and the Championship. The Capital One Orange Bowl has been played in Miami since 1935, making it the second-oldest bowl game in college football. Miami will make history by hosting Florida's first-ever outdoor NHL game as part of the league's iconic Winter Classic—and it's happening in true Miami style, inside loanDepot park, a venue typically home to Major League Baseball. This bold, first-of-its-kind transformation reflects the creativity and adaptability of Miami's venues, which continue to rise to the occasion - no matter the sport, season, or scale. "From fútbol to football, hockey to motorsports, tennis to marathon and open-water swimming, Miami doesn't just host events - we set the stage for unforgettable global moments," added Whitaker. "This is the power of a destination that knows how to welcome the world - and keep it coming back." As we look ahead to June 15, 2026, the kickoff of FIFA World Cup 26™ in Miami Stadium, Greater Miami and Miami Beach stands ready—not just to host the world, but to own the global spotlight.

Update on Alabama football start times vs SEC opponents for 2025 season
Update on Alabama football start times vs SEC opponents for 2025 season Alabama-Georgia kickoff time, TV channel announced. Crimson Tide matchup vs. LSU will be night game. Alabama football provided some new information related to start times against its 2025 SEC opponents Wednesday. The highly anticipated showdown between the Crimson Tide and Georgia Bulldogs, set for Sept. 27 at Sanford Stadium in Athens, will kick off in prime time. Similar to last season's matchup at Bryant-Denny Stadium, Alabama-UGA is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. CT. The game will be televised on ABC. The Crimson Tide defeated the Bulldogs, 41-34, in coach Kalen DeBoer's first big test as head coach last year. Alabama's game at Missouri on Oct. 11 will be an 11 a.m. CT kickoff on either ABC or ESPN. The Crimson Tide will be making their first visit to Faurot Field since Nick Saban's 2020 national championship team opened the pandemic-shortened season there on Sept. 26 with a 38-19 victory. Not surprisingly, Alabama's annual showdown with LSU on Nov. 8 will also be a night game. Although an official kickoff time was not announced Wednesday, the game will kick off at either 5 p.m. or 7 p.m. Alabama's matchups with Vanderbilt and SEC rivals Tennessee and Auburn were given the 'flex' window tag, essentially meaning the conference and ESPN haven't decided on official start times. For now, the tag simply means that Alabama won't be playing its two biggest rivals at 11 a.m. Additionally, the Crimson Tide's Nov. 22 game against Eastern Illinois in Tuscaloosa was announced as a 1 p.m. start. The game will only be available for streaming via ESPN+ and SEC Network+ Prior to Wednesday's updates, Alabama announced its Week 1 kickoff against Florida State at Doak Campbell Stadium in Tallahassee on Aug. 30 would be a 2:30 p.m. start on ABC. The Crimson Tide will face Louisiana-Monroe the following week at 6:45 p.m. on SEC Network. Alabama's game against Wisconsin on Sept. 13 will kick off at 11 a.m. and be televised on ABC or ESPN.
