How to stream Inter Miami vs. NYCFC: Will Lionel Messi return for crucial MLS matchup?

Lionel Messi’s status for Inter Miami’s game against New York City F.C. on Saturday is a crucial question as the MLS winds down, but it may be a down-to-the-wire decision ahead of the game at DRV PNK Stadium in Fort Lauderdale on September 30 (9/30/2023) at 7:30 p.m. ET.

Inter Miami vs. NYCFC will be broadcast exclusively via live stream on the MLS Season Pass from Apple TV+. It will not air on cable TV.

Inter Miami is coming off a disappointing 2-1 loss against the Houston Dynamo for the U.S. Open Cup Final. It would have been Miami’s second major trophy of the season, after the Leagues Cup, and it’s clear that the team needs a boost in the form of Messi’s return as the regular MLS Season winds down.

Messi missed the U.S. Open Cup Final, and sat on the bench in the MLS match against Orlando City before that, which ended in a 1-1 draw. Inter Miami assistant coach Javier Morales told Pro Soccer Wire that the Argentinian is taking it “day-to-day,” and tested himself during practice on Friday.

Without Messi on the field, Inter Miami faces an even more difficult push for a Playoffs berth, with just five regular season games left on the calendar, and currently 14th with a 9-5-15 record. Here’s how to tune in on Saturday.
