MLS 2025 Season kickoff: How to watch Inter Miami vs. NYC
Ever since soccer star Lionel Messi joined Inter Miami in 2023, the popularity of Major League Soccer in the U.S. has exploded thanks to fans clamoring to see the legend play in person. Messi still has one more season on his contract with Miami, and while he could always extend that, there’s no word yet on his plans.
