Monster Jam Rolls Into Amerant Bank Arena: The South Florida Weekend

Monster Jam's return to Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise, FL marks one of the most anticipated family entertainment events on the 2026 South Florida calendar. Home of the NHL's Florida Panthers, the arena transforms each summer into a dirt-packed, engine-roaring motorsports playground as some of the sport's most iconic trucks take over the floor. With its modern amenities, central Broward County location, and proximity to Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and the Everglades, Amerant Bank Arena has become one of the premier Monster Jam stops in the southeast.

The 2026 Sunrise weekend is built around three jam-packed shows. The excitement kicks off Saturday, August 22 at 12:00 PM with a matinee perfect for families with younger fans, continues that same night at Saturday, August 22 at 6:00 PM for the big evening show, and wraps up with a final Sunday, August 23 at 1:00 PM Sunday afternoon performance. Each show delivers the full Monster Jam experience - truck racing, two-wheel skills challenges, donut competition, and the main event freestyle where drivers throw caution to the wind for a shot at the trophy.

Expect to see the biggest names in monster truck entertainment. Grave Digger, the black-and-green original that launched Monster Jam into pop culture, is typically a weekend headliner. El Toro Loco, Megalodon, and Max-D are staples of the modern tour with drivers who have claimed world titles and lit up social media with viral stunts. Trucks weigh about 12,000 pounds, pack roughly 1,500 horsepower, and can launch more than 35 feet in the air - it's the kind of spectacle that just doesn't translate to a TV screen.

Getting to the venue is easy from anywhere in the South Florida metro. Amerant Bank Arena sits off the Sawgrass Expressway near the Sawgrass Mills Mall, making it an easy drive from Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties. The arena offers on-site parking, and fans coming from farther away can combine the Monster Jam weekend with a shopping day at Sawgrass Mills, dinner at nearby restaurants, or a full South Florida getaway. Check the Amerant Bank Arena directions page for parking details and driving tips.

BigStub has been helping fans find great seats for more than 20 years.
