Tri-Rail Ready for World Cup in Miami

(Press Release) The world is anticipating the 2026 World Cup in Miami. The region is set to host seven high-profile matches and Fan Festival celebrations. As the excitement is building, Tri-Rail is there to provide reliable transportation to and from the games at Miami Stadium plus Fan Festival at Bayfront Park.

Between heavy traffic, expensive parking, and the challenge of safely getting thousands of fans to and from events, transportation is expected to be one of the biggest conversations surrounding the tournament. And soccer fans — residents and visitors alike — should know that there is a much better way to move through it all.
 
Diane Hernandez Del Calvo, Interim Executive Director of the South Florida Regional Transportation Authority/Tri-Rail, said the region’s commuter rail system is preparing to play a major role during the World Cup, not only by helping fans travel more efficiently, but by reshaping how residents and visitors think about public transit in South Florida.
 
“We are going to be able to move fans from Palm Beach and Broward into Miami, as well as from downtown Miami into one of the official game day express hubs,” Hernandez Del Calvo said. “And it’s going to be a coordinated effort with our regional partners.”
 
Taking the train transforms game days into part of the experience itself. Instead of worrying about parking lots, navigating traffic or designating a driver, passengers can simply board the train and enjoy the ride alongside other fans.
 
Fans will board Tri-Rail trains from any of its train stations and arrive at the Golden Glades Station, where they can connect directly to shuttle services that will transport them to stadium areas. The shuttles will be right there waiting for them when they get off the train. The service is available exclusively for verified game day ticket holders. Additional service, including express trains to the games, are expected to help accommodate the massive crowds anticipated throughout the tournament.
 
Special train service will depart at approximately one hour after the game so fans can enjoy the game until the last whistle knowing the train is going to be waiting for riders.
 
For the Fan Festival, June 13-July 5, it is a short Metromover ride to all the action from MiamiCentral Station to Bayfront Park.
 
World Cup presents a unique opportunity for the train system to reintroduce itself. For years, Tri-Rail has connected communities across Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade counties. But Hernandez Del Calvo said major events like the World Cup definitely bring more attention to the system and its value.
