Inter Miami closes out its 2026 South America tour on Saturday with a clash against Barcelona SC, giants of the Ecuadorian Serie A, in Guayaquil, Ecuador.

After a preseason-opening 3–0 loss to Peru's Alianza Lima to begin their new campaign, Miami picked things up in their second match, with Luis Suárez and an own goal helping them to a 2–1 victory over Colombian side Atlético Nacional.

Led by manager Javier Mascherano, the Herons are looking to close out their South American tour with a win and a clean sheet, while setting the tone for their final preseason match on Feb. 13, before the MLS season opener on Feb. 21 against Son Heung-min’s LAFC.

Drawing on their last two starting lineups, expect a near full-strength Miami side on Saturday, featuring Lionel Messi, Luis Suárez and Rodrigo de Paul, as well as key new additions, including 2025 MLS Goalkeeper of the Year Dayne St. Clair and fullback Facundo Mora

However, former Premier League and La Liga defender Sergio Reguilón will not be available after suffering a knee sprain in the first match of preseason.

Their opponents, Barcelona SC, finished third in Ecuador’s top flight in 2025. Their name and crest, indicative of Messi and Suárez’s old side, draw on the famed La Liga club, thanks to Eutimio Pérez, a Spanish immigrant who named the club after his home in Barcelona, Spain.

Here’s how you can watch the Herons’ final match of their South American foray.
