South Beach hosts the World Polo League Beach Polo World Cup in Miami Beach from 13 to 15 November 2026. The beach polo grounds sit between 21st and 22nd streets beside Collins Park, placing the tournament directly on the Atlantic shoreline.
Beach polo matches run from 13 to 15 November
The organiser schedule sets Thursday 12 November aside for an official team presentation and opening event in the VIP tent. That opening event is invitation only, while the public programme begins with the tournament matches on Friday 13 November.
Friday includes the GCPC Cup round robin at 1pm and the WPL Cup round robin at 2.30pm, followed by an open Après Polo event at The Setai at 5.30pm. Saturday 14 November repeats the two round-robin matches at 1pm and 2.30pm, with another open Après Polo event at 5.30pm.
Sunday 15 November brings the CTV Sports Cup at 1pm, the GCPC Cup final at 2.15pm and the WPL Cup final at 3.15pm. The programme concludes with awards and a photography session at 4.30pm, followed by Après Polo at The Setai at 5.30pm. The 2026 organiser schedule identifies Collins Park as the venue.
South Beach puts the tournament beside Art Deco Miami
The match site is listed at 21st and 22nd streets on Collins, within the South Beach section of Miami Beach. The location places the polo field between the oceanfront and the district streets, rather than inside a conventional stadium.
South Beach is part of the historic Art Deco District, where pastel buildings, hotels and civic spaces form the architectural setting around Ocean Drive and Collins Avenue. The area also includes Lummus Park, a ten-block stretch beside the Atlantic, and South Pointe Park at the southern tip of Miami Beach. The regional tourism body describes the neighbourhood as an arts, fashion, cultural and entertainment centre, a context that makes the beach location relevant to the tournament format. Its South Beach visitor guide places the neighbourhood and its public spaces in Miami Beach.
For travellers, the combination is specific: the event uses sand beside the Atlantic, while the surrounding visit includes the Art Deco streets, Lummus Park and Collins Avenue. The tournament therefore changes the immediate use of the beachfront without moving the visit away from the established South Beach setting.
What the programme means for visitors
The organiser schedule separates the private opening from the daytime sporting programme. Visitors arriving on Friday, Saturday or Sunday find the retail village and match programme listed at the beach polo grounds, while the VIP tent has separate access arrangements.
The schedule gives the strongest public-facing programme to Sunday 15 November, when both cup finals and the awards presentation are listed. On Saturday 14 November, travellers can combine the 1pm and 2.30pm matches with the evening open event at The Setai.
