Inter Miami secure Nu Stadium naming-rights deal for Miami Freedom Park move

Inter Miami will play at Nu Stadium from the 2026/27 season after the MLS club struck a multi-year naming-rights agreement with Nu for its new venue at Miami Freedom Park.The 26,700-seat stadium is due to open on April 4, with Inter Miami set to host Austin FC in the venue’s first match.As part of the broader partnership, Nu will become a main partner of the club and its brand will also appear on the back of Inter Miami’s shirt from August, when the league introduces the new lower-back jersey inventory.Inter Miami managing owner Jorge Mas said the club’s commercial approach was aligned with its ambitions on the pitch. He said: “Inter Miami was built to set new standards and redefine what’s possible in fútbol… 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.”Co-owner David Beckham added: “Opening our new stadium is a really special moment on our journey… Nu Stadium will be a home for the Inter Miami family and a place that reminds everyone who visits of the Freedom to Dream.”Inter Miami and Nu said the venue is designed for year-round use, with the stadium also expected to stage concerts, corporate and private events and additional sporting events beyond the club’s home matches.Nu will also “anchor” two branded areas inside the stadium: the Nu Club, a 770-person premium hospitality lounge with a glass tunnel view of players walking from the dressing rooms to the pitch, and the Nu Plaza, a community hub designed around gathering spaces, a large screen and seating areas.Cristina Junqueira, co-founder and CEO of Nu’s emerging US business, positioned the deal as part of the company’s international growth strategy. She said: “This long-term partnership represents a strategic alignment with an international sports franchise that shares our ambition and global mindset. "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.”The stadium is the centrepiece of Miami Freedom Park, a 131-acre mixed-use development near Miami International Airport.
