Just 49 days after winning the 2025 MLS Cup, Inter Miami will kick off the 2026 preseason on Saturday night as they take on Peruvian giants Alianza Lima in the first of their three-match South American tour.
The match will likely be Lionel Messi’s first game of the calendar year and will be the first for a new era of Inter Miami after the retirements of Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba following the MLS Cup win over Thomas Müller’s Vancouver Whitecaps.
