Inter Miami CF is back home on Saturday, Aug. 29, to face CF Montréal at Nu Stadium, with kickoff set for 7:30 p.m. ET. The match arrives as a quick chance to reset after a 1-2 loss to Toronto FC, a game in which Lionel Messi scored Miami’s only goal.
The timing matters because Inter Miami CF still sits second in the Eastern Conference with an 11W-4L-6D record and 39 points, while CF Montréal comes in at 5W-10L-6D with 21 points. Messi leads Inter Miami CF with 14 goals this MLS regular season, and he shares the team lead in assists with Rodrigo De Paul at nine apiece.
Saturday’s meeting will be the 14th in club history, and the series has been even over time, with each side holding six wins and one draw between them. Inter Miami CF has won the last four meetings, including a 0-1 road result in July, which gives this home date a familiar edge even before the opening whistle.
For fans, the match is also a ticket and transit story. Single-match parking passes are available only on the Yellow Lot, while parking in the Audi Black Lot and the Red Lot is already sold out. The lots open at 4 p.m. ET, and fans can also buy a $10 roundtrip Tri-Rail ticket to the Miami Intermodal Center for remaining Inter Miami CF matches at Nu Stadium in 2026, with a $10 food and beverage credit tied to the Guest Services location outside Section 101.
That leaves Inter Miami CF carrying both the weight of its standing and the expectation built by the recent run against CF Montréal. Messi has been the season’s most reliable finisher, but Saturday is about whether Miami can turn home advantage into another result and keep the gap in the series from narrowing again.
