Planning a trip to South Florida to catch a Miami Dolphins game at Hard Rock Stadium? Make your game day part of a bigger Miami getaway.
Whether you’re traveling with friends, bringing the family, or turning a Dolphins game into a weekend escape, staying in Miami Beach gives you the opportunity to experience much more than football. Spend your mornings at the beach, explore South Beach, enjoy Miami’s restaurants and nightlife, and then make your way to Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens for game day.
If you’re looking for where to stay for a Miami Dolphins game, Casa Hotels Group offers four boutique hotel locations in Miami Beach that put you close to the city’s beaches, dining, shopping, entertainment, and nightlife.
MIAMI DOLPHINS HOME GAMES THROUGH NOVEMBER 2026
If you’re planning a Miami Dolphins game weekend, there are four home games scheduled at Hard Rock Stadium from October through November 2026:
- October 11, 2026 — Cincinnati Bengals at Miami Dolphins
- November 1, 2026 — New England Patriots at Miami Dolphins
- November 8, 2026 — Detroit Lions at Miami Dolphins
- November 29, 2026 — New York Jets at Miami Dolphins
All four games are scheduled to take place at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, giving visiting fans several opportunities to combine an NFL game with a Miami Beach vacation.
MAKE A WEEKEND OUT OF YOUR DOLPHINS GAME
A Dolphins game is a great reason to visit Miami, but you don’t have to spend your entire trip around the stadium.
Miami Beach gives you a completely different experience before and after kickoff. Start your weekend with a walk along the beach, explore the Art Deco architecture of South Beach, grab dinner along Ocean Drive, shop on Lincoln Road, or enjoy the restaurants and nightlife throughout the area.
On game day, plan your schedule around kickoff and allow plenty of time for the drive to Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens. After the game, return to Miami Beach and continue your weekend with dinner, drinks, or a relaxing evening by the beach.
For travelers coming from out of town, this combination makes it possible to experience Miami Dolphins football and Miami Beach in the same trip.

THINGS TO DO IN MIAMI BEFORE OR AFTER THE GAME
Don’t let game day be the only highlight of your trip. If you’re traveling to Miami for a Dolphins game, build some extra time into your itinerary to explore the city.
HIT THE BEACH
No Miami trip is complete without time at the beach. Spend a morning enjoying the sand and sunshine before getting ready for game day.
EXPLORE SOUTH BEACH
Walk through the Art Deco Historic District, explore Ocean Drive, visit Española Way, and discover the restaurants, cafés, and shops throughout South Beach.
SHOP ON LINCOLN ROAD
Lincoln Road is one of Miami Beach’s best-known pedestrian shopping and dining destinations. It’s an easy addition to a Dolphins weekend itinerary.
EXPERIENCE MIAMI NIGHTLIFE
If your game falls on a Sunday, consider extending your stay and enjoying another night in Miami Beach. From restaurants and cocktail spots to late-night entertainment, there are plenty of ways to continue your weekend after the final whistle.
EXPLORE MORE OF MIAMI
If you have additional time, venture beyond Miami Beach and explore destinations such as Wynwood, Little Havana, Coconut Grove, or Downtown Miami.
TURN GAME DAY INTO A MIAMI BEACH GETAWAY
Traveling to Miami for an NFL game doesn’t have to mean staying near the stadium and leaving without experiencing the city.
Instead, make your Miami Dolphins game the centerpiece of a larger Miami vacation. Stay in Miami Beach, enjoy the beach and South Beach attractions, explore Miami’s neighborhoods, experience the local dining scene, and then head to Hard Rock Stadium for kickoff.
With four Dolphins home games scheduled between October and the end of November 2026, there’s plenty of opportunity to plan your next Miami Dolphins game weekend.
