The 50,000 square foot state of the art pink training facility, that is still showing signs of construction, sits adjacent to their temporary stadium in Fort Lauderdale.
The training facility boasts seven football pitches and the team were given their first taste of action on it after moving from a temporary site.
Their official Twitter account uploaded a brief video online showing the players stepping off coaches and heading on to the field for the first time.
It is reported that the training complex has set back joint-owners Beckham and Jorge Mas a cool £50million to redevelop.
Inter Miami will spend two years playing at the 18,000-capacity Lockhart Stadium before it is completely transformed into a training centre.
They will then move to a £750m development at Miami’s Freedom Park in 2022 once it has been completed.
Miami CF will play New York City FC on Wednesday in a closed-doors friendly before another match against Philadelphia Union on Saturday.
Another friendly against FC Dallas follows before they open their MLS account with a match against the reigning champions Los Angeles FC on March 1.

Inter, who received mixed reviews after releasing their first-ever pink and black away kit, are yet to sign a marquee name but have a roster of talent on the books including Scotland international Lewis Morgan and midfielder Matias Pellegrini.
Beckham’s team have been tipped to make an incredible move for Edinson Cavani in the summer transfer window.
And SunSport exclusively revealed that the MLS newbies have set their sights on Manchester City ace Sergio Aguero.
