Miami Dolphins begin 2026 training camp with eight free public practices, Giants joint session
The Miami Dolphins began their 2026 NFL training camp in Miami Gardens on Sunday, Aug. 2, opening a schedule that includes eight practices available to the public at no cost and a joint practice with the New York Giants on Aug. 20.
The public schedule includes free parking as well as free admission. The Dolphins said practice times and availability are subject to change, and encouraged fans to RSVP for attendance information, schedule updates and giveaways.
The Baptist Health Training Complex in Miami Gardens is the Dolphins’ primary training-camp site. One public workout, scheduled for Aug. 8 at 10:15 a.m., is set to take place at Hard Rock Stadium.
Public access is limited to eight listed practices
The team announced eight practices open to the public, beginning with the Aug. 2 session. The schedule also includes one additional practice reserved for Dolphins season-ticket members.
That member-only practice is scheduled for Aug. 18. It is separate from the eight public practices and should not be counted as an additional public training-camp date.
The distinction matters for fans making plans around the camp calendar: free admission and free parking apply to the public practices, while the Aug. 18 event has a season-ticket-member restriction under the team’s announcement.
The Dolphins have not provided attendance projections for any of the workouts. The free-access policy establishes the terms for the announced public events, but it does not indicate how many people are expected at the training complex or at Hard Rock Stadium.
Hard Rock Stadium practice set for Aug. 8
The Aug. 8 practice is scheduled to begin at 10:15 a.m. at Hard Rock Stadium, the Dolphins’ stadium venue. The team identifies the Baptist Health Training Complex as its primary camp location, making the stadium session a separately listed public practice on the 2026 calendar.
For attendees, the announced schedule provides two types of location information: most camp activity is centered at the Miami Gardens training complex, while the Aug. 8 practice is specifically assigned to Hard Rock Stadium. Fans should check the team’s RSVP and update information before traveling because the club has said scheduling and availability can change.
No additional details about attendance capacity or the operations of the stadium practice were included in the team’s camp information. The announcement confirms the date, time and venue, but does not provide a projected crowd size or an economic-impact estimate.
Giants joint practice is the next featured camp event
The Dolphins are scheduled to host the New York Giants for a joint practice at 9:30 a.m. on Aug. 20. The announcement describes the Aug. 20 event as a joint practice; it is not identified as a preseason game.
The session places Miami and another NFL club together during training camp and is one of the eight practices the Dolphins announced as open to the public. It is the next specifically identified opponent-related event on the team’s camp schedule.
The available announcement does not include scores, standings, roster decisions, injury information or preseason-game details. It instead sets out the public-access framework for the Dolphins’ camp: eight free public practices, one season-ticket-member practice, a stadium workout and a scheduled joint practice with the Giants.
Fans planning to attend can use the team’s RSVP process for current attendance information and giveaways. Because times and availability remain subject to change, the listed Aug. 8 Hard Rock Stadium practice and Aug. 20 Giants joint session are scheduled events rather than guarantees that the details will remain unchanged.
