Miami-Dade County will be hosting seven FIFA World Cup matches, drawing extremely large crowds, and requiring substantial public safety resources across the county.

Due to the scale of these events, local law enforcement agencies will be fully committed to World Cup security operations. As a result:

• Miami-Dade County Police officers will not be available to staff any film productions on FIFA match days.
• Film permits requiring law enforcement support will not be approved on match days.
• Traffic restrictions, crowd management operations, and road closures around event zones may also affect production logistics countywide.

We strongly encourage all filmmakers, producers, and location managers to plan ahead and adjust production schedules to avoid dates that overlap with the World Cup match calendar. The FIFA World Cup matches in Miami dates are:

Monday, June 15th
Sunday, June 21st
Wednesday, June 24th
Saturday, June 27th
Friday, July 3rd
Saturday, July 11th
Saturday, July 18th

Our office remains available to help identify alternative dates, locations, and permitting options that can minimize disruption.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as Miami-Dade County hosts these major international events. We appreciate your continued partnership in keeping film production safe and successful in our community.
