The Dreams Cup Is Back and Inter Miami Is Stepping It Up!

The 2026 Dreams Cup, hosted by Inter Miami CF, runs May 22–25 across venues in Broward and Miami-Dade County. This year's edition is nearly double the size of last year's inaugural event — and it starts with an Opening Ceremony at Inter Miami CF Stadium on Friday night. Not a training field. The actual stadium.
Competition covers U8 through U19 across four flights — Super Group, Gold, Silver, and Bronze. The Super Group is invite-only, the elite bracket where the best youth programs in the country handle business. Every other flight is open to teams at state, regional, and national level. There's also a TOPSoccer division on Saturday for athletes with disabilities, which most tournaments don't bother with.

Finals are Monday, May 25.

The timing puts the Dreams Cup running almost alongside the MLS Next Cup in Salt Lake City — two of the biggest youth events of the year, same weekend, opposite ends of the country. That's the state of American youth soccer right now.

If you're in South Florida this weekend, be there.
