World Jai-Alai League

World Jai-Alai League at JAM Arena

Experience one of Miami's most unique and culturally rich sporting traditions with the World Jai-Alai League at JAM Arena. Celebrating its centennial year of play in South Florida, jai-alai traces its roots to the Basque region of Spain and France and has evolved into a fast paced, high energy professional sport deeply embedded in Miami's heritage.

Known as the "fastest ball sport in the world," jai-alai features athletes launching a small ball at incredible speeds using a curved wicker basket, delivering thrilling rallies and nonstop action. The World Jai-Alai League is reintroducing this historic game to a new generation, blending tradition with innovation through modern gameplay, digital engagement, and global reach.

Hosted at the newly reimagined JAM Arena, formerly the iconic Miami Fronton, the venue has been transformed into a state of the art sports and entertainment destination. Fans can enjoy professional jai-alai matches during the Spring Battle Court season beginning in February, alongside a dynamic lineup of live concerts, comedy shows, and interactive fan experiences. With VIP courtside seating and family friendly activations, the World Jai-Alai League offers an immersive event unlike anything else in the United States, marking 100 years of jai-alai in Miami this year.
