Is Lionel Messi playing on Saturday? How to watch Inter Miami vs. Sporting KC, time, free live stream

Inter Miami is still enjoying that Lionel Messi magic, and look to continue their undefeated streak against Sporting KC when they play at DRV PNK Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, Florida on Saturday, September 9 (9/9/2023) at 7:30 p.m. ET.

The game will be broadcast exclusively via live stream on the MLS Season Pass from Apple TV+. It will not air on cable TV.

The Herons have not lost a game since the Argentinian superstar joined the team in July, but they did finally have their winning streak snapped in a 0-0 draw with Nashville. But the pink shirts bounced back quickly with a 3-1 win over LAFC on Sunday.

Now, however, Messi will be absent from the pitch as he returns to Argentina for National Team duty, along with nine other players on the Inter Miami squad.

That means Inter Miami will square off with Sporting Kansas City without their newest star. Sporting KC is fresh off a 2-1 win over St. Louis and on a two-game win streak since returning to MLS regular season play after the Leagues cup.

Here’s how to tune in.

What: MLS Regular Season
