Inter Miami are out for redemption this summer, as their Leagues Cup campaign kicks off against Liga MX’s Atlético de San Luis on Wednesday.

Lionel Messi wasted little time revealing his genius on American shores back in 2023, when he inspired the Herons to glory in this competition right after leaving the European soccer scene.

Miami returned to the final last year, but were cast aside by the Seattle Sounders. Ugly scenes followed post-match, and, as a result, an in-form Luis Suárez won’t be able to feature at all in this year’s competition. He received a six-match Leagues Cup suspension for spitting at a Sounders staff member.

San Luis were established just 13 years ago, forming an alliance with Atlético Madrid in 2017. They were promoted to the top tier of Mexican soccer two years later and have established top-flight stability since.

Their record in this competition is poor, but there were at least signs of improvement in 2025 after back-to-back group-stage exits.

Here’s how you can watch the start of Inter Miami’s 2026 Leagues Cup campaign on TV and live stream.
