With the Major League Soccer season back underway after an almost two-month pause to accommodate the FIFA 2026 World Cup, it’s time to take a look at the remaining games for Inter Miami CF as they seek to defend their title as MLS Cup Champions.
Regular Season:
August
Inter Miami has a total of 16 games left in their regular season spanning from now until November. Their next game will fall on Aug. 15 against Nashville SC away from home. This could be an exciting match as it involves the top two teams in the Eastern Conference, with Nashville SC in first with 40 points and Inter Miami second with 38.
It would be the perfect opportunity for Inter Miami to surpass Nashville SC in the current standings of the Eastern Conference table as a win would grant them 3 points, leaving them in first with 41.
Following that clash, Inter Miami continues on the road facing Philadelphia Union on Aug. 19 away from home.
Finally for the last two games of this month, Inter Miami returns home in a head-to-head against Toronto FC on Aug. 22, and CF Montréal on Aug. 29.
September
Inter Miami kicks off the month at home against Atlanta United FC on Sept. 5.
A special match will then take place Sept. 9 when Inter Miami leaves the Magic City and heads to the Windy City. This match against Chicago Fire will not only be interesting because in the total history of their clashes, Chicago Fire leads with 5 victories to Inter Miami’s 4, but because we might see two European legends clash. With Polish legend Robert Lewandowski’s recent transfer to the Fire, we could possibly see Lionel Messi and Lewandowski, two Barcelona icons, face off.

After this clash of titans, Inter Miami returns home for their next two matches, facing Nashville SC once again on Sept. 12 then San Diego FC on Sept. 20.
Inter Miami’s last game of September will once again take them on the road to face Columbus Crew on Sept. 27.
October
Inter Miami kick off the spooky season against D.C. United on Oct. 10 in the Magic City.
Another clash will be on Oct. 14 when Inter Miami faces off against New York City FC at home.
Inter Miami will then pack their bags and head for their game against Atlanta United FC on Oct. 17. After that, they will head to New Jersey in a clash against Red Bull New York on Oct. 24.
To close out the month of October just before Halloween, Inter Miami will head back home and face FC Cincinnati on Oct. 28.
November
Inter Miami’s last two games of the regular season will be against New England Revolution away from home on Nov. 1 and against Charlotte FC on Nov. 7 at home.
After the regular season if Inter Miami finish in the top nine teams of the Eastern Conference they will qualify for the Audi MLS Cup Playoffs, which takes place from November to the MLS Cup presented by Audi on Dec.18.
Leagues Cup:
The Leagues Cup involves 18 teams from the MLS and all 18 teams from the Mexican league, LIGA MX. The MLS teams get chosen from the top nine teams from both conferences from the prior season.
The tournament spans from Aug. 4 to Sept. 6.
After beating San Luis on Wednesday 4-2, Inter Miami will have two more confirmed games left, facing Monterrey at home on Aug. 8 and León at home on Aug. 12.
Inter Miami must then finish in the top four clubs from their league-specific table to advance to the quarterfinals.
Campeones Cup:
The Campeones Cup is a one-off game featuring the champions of the MLS and LIGA MX.
The game will be Inter Miami against Cruz Azul on Sept. 16 in the Magic City.
