There’s no easing into the season for Inter Miami in 2026. One week after falling 3–0 to LAFC in front of over 75,000 fans, the Herons are back in MLS action for a clash against Florida rivals, Orlando City
The matchup comes as Miami’s third game in eight days, after the club played a delayed friendly in Puerto Rico, beating Ecuador’s Independiente del Valle 2–1 on Thursday. That match, albeit a friendly, saw plenty of first-choice players get minutes, including Lionel Messi, who was tackled to the ground by a pitch invader and security guard.
