Inter Miami captured its second-ever trophy in the form of the Major League Soccer Supporters' Shield following its 3–2 triumph over Columbus Crew. Last summer, the Herons lifted their first-ever piece of silverware after their Leagues Cup triumph over Nashville SC.

Columbus were also still alive in the Supporters' Shield race but needed to take down Miami and hope for a few other results in the final weeks of the season to go its way.
