One month before Inter Miami plays its first MLS home game in a new stadium, the reigning MLS champions announced a name for the venue: Nu Stadium at Miami Freedom Park.
The latest Inter Miami partnership with Nubank – one of the world’s largest digital financial services platforms with 131 million customers across Brazil, Mexico, and Colombia – will also see the company’s logo on the lower back of club jerseys beginning in August 2026.
Inter Miami star Lionel Messi, striker Luis Suarez, midfielder Rodrigo De Paul and defender Noah Allen were featured in promotional photos to announce the partnership, while co-owner Jorge Mas expressed last week that Nu Stadium would be ready to host Austin FC in the first home game of the season on April 4.
‘Nu is exactly the partner we look for – driven by the same disruptor mindset and global ambition that define Inter Miami. Together, we are proud to welcome our fans to Nu Stadium at Miami Freedom Park very soon, a special place they can call home where they can feel connected, inspired, and part of something truly extraordinary,’ Mas said in a statement on Wednesday, March 4.
‘This long-term partnership represents a strategic alignment with an international sports franchise that shares our ambition and global mindset,’ said Cristina Junqueira, co-founder and CEO of Nu’s emerging U.S. business. ‘Nu Stadium will anchor our brand in the United States, allowing us to engage with a diverse, international community as we build the most influential consumer technology platform in the world.’
Added Inter Miami co-owner David Beckham: ‘Opening our new stadium is a really special moment on our journey – a place for fans across South Florida and for people from around the world who feel connected to our club to watch us play. Nu Stadium will be a home for the Inter Miami family and a place that reminds everyone who visits of the Freedom to Dream.’
Nu will also anchor two signature spaces inside the stadium: The Nu Club, a 770-person premium hospitality lounge featuring a glass tunnel view of players as they walk from the locker rooms to the pitch. And the Nu Plaza, a public space at the center of the district.
Inter Miami will play 10 of its first 11 matches in 2026, including the preseason, on the road before its new venue opens.
The lone exception will be when Inter Miami hosts rival Nashville SC in the second leg of their Round-of-16 Concacaf Champions Cup tournament matchup on March 18. The match will be hosted in their previous venue – renamed Inter Miami Stadium – in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
‘We’re kicking off April 4; it’s going to be an amazing day. It’s a mad rush. The stadium will be ready – as close to 100 percent as a new stadium can be without rehearsals. … The stadium will be in optimal condition,’ Mas said of the new stadium during a FIFA World Cup event in Miami on Feb. 25.
