Miami will host the final phase of the 2027 FIFA Women's Champions Cup from January 27-31, the governing body announced Tuesday at its 76th FIFA Congress in Vancouver.
The decision brings the FIFA Champions Cup to the US for the first time, after Arsenal claimed the inaugural title in London earlier this year. The Gunners defeated Corinthians at Emirates Stadium in the first edition of the elite six-team tournament.
The Women's Champions Cup final phase includes semifinals, a third-place playoff, and the championship match. FIFA has not yet confirmed specific venues, though Hard Rock Stadium and Nu Stadium at Miami Freedom Park are the leading candidates.
Nu Stadium opened in April 2026 as Inter Miami's permanent home with 26,700 seats. Hard Rock Stadium offers larger capacity and established infrastructure for major international events.
ESPN's Jeff Kassouf reported Florida was originally expected to host the inaugural January 2026 event, but Arsenal pushed for London after qualifying.
The FIFA Women's Champions Cup gathers the top six women's club teams globally. Each participating club must win its respective continental confederation championship: UEFA for Europe, Concacaf for North and Central America, CONMEBOL for South America, and others.
The tournament fills the gap in years when 16-team Women's Club World Cup does not take place.
NWSL club Gotham FC finished third in 2026, and now has a shot at representing Concacaf again alongside the Washington Spirit, Club America, and Pachuca.
