The 2026 season is the seventh season for Inter Miami CF, a professional soccer team based in Miami, Florida, United States. The team plays in Major League Soccer (MLS), the top flight of club soccer in the United States, as a member of the Eastern Conference. This is the first season for the team at Nu Stadium. The year also marks the 23rd season of first-division club soccer in South Florida. In addition to playing in the MLS regular season, Inter Miami CF is competing in the CONCACAF Champions Cup for the third time, as well as the Leagues Cup.
Inter Miami CF will enter the season as the defending MLS Cup champions; in MLS Cup 2025, they defeated Vancouver Whitecaps FC. [1]
After a six-week offseason, Inter Miami CF began their preseason training camp on January 17 in Fort Lauderdale ahead of three friendlies on a tour of South America. [2] An additional match, against Independiente del Valle of Ecuador, was scheduled for February 13 in Bayamón, Puerto Rico. It was postponed to February 26—a week into the MLS regular season—after the club announced that Lionel Messi had a muscle strain and would be unable to play. [3] During the rescheduled friendly, Messi was tackled to the ground by a security guard during an attempt to restrain a pitch invader. [4]
The full preseason schedule with matches in South America was announced on January 23, 2026. [5]
