The 2026 Miami FC season is the club's seventh season in the USL Championship, the second-tier of the American soccer system, and eleventh overall.
For the first time in club history, Miami FC did not enter into the 2026 US Open Cup, as due to the compacted format of this season's cup tournament,[1] only clubs in the USL Championship who made it to the 2025 USL Championship playoffs entered into the tournament.[2]
