The wait is nearly over for Inter Miami CF fans as the club prepares to move from its temporary home in Fort Lauderdale to its permanent crown jewel in the heart of the city. On April 4, 2026, Inter Miami will host Austin FC in the inaugural match at the brand-new Nu Stadium, the centerpiece of the transformative Miami Freedom Park project.
A Modern Fortress: Inside Nu Stadium
Named through a multi-year partnership with Brazilian fintech leader Nu, the stadium is designed to provide one of the most intimate and loud atmospheres in North American soccer.
- Architecture & Views: The stadium features iconic grand staircases that lead into a 360-degree open-air concourse, offering fans panoramic views of the Miami skyline and the surrounding Jorge Mas Canosa Park.
- Fan-Centric Design: With a capacity of 26,700, the arena utilizes a “compact bowl” design to amplify sound and energy. The North Stand is specifically engineered for the “La Familia” supporters’ groups with steep, rail-seating sections to foster a “wall of sound” effect.
- World-Class Amenities: Beyond the pitch, the facility includes premium “Pitchside” seating, glass-walled player tunnel clubs, and a multi-story team store that will operate year-round.
More Than a Stadium: Miami Freedom Park
Nu Stadium is just one part of the $1 billion, 131-acre Miami Freedom Park development. Located adjacent to Miami International Airport, the district will eventually feature:
- Green Space: The 58-acre Jorge Mas Canosa Park, Miami’s newest flagship public park.
- Entertainment District: Over 1 million square feet of retail, dining, and office space.
- Hospitality: Approximately 750 hotel rooms to accommodate fans and tourists.
