Here's everything you need to know about the game. Follow along below for live updates throughout the match.
The Inter Miami match against Columbus Crew will be available via MLS Season Pass on Apple TV.
Here are the starting lineups for both clubs for tonight’s match:
No, Messi will be out again, Inter Miami coach Tata Martino confirmed Monday.
Although Messi is no longer wearing a walking boot, Messi continues to train away from teammates with trainers since sustaining the injury in the Copa America final on July 14.
It’s unclear when Messi will return from injury.
A few dates to keep in mind: Messi could join Argentina for two World Cup 2026 qualifiers on Sept. 5 (vs. Chile in Argentina) and Sept. 10 (away vs. Colombia).
Inter Miami beat Columbus 2-1 on June 19 – with Messi and Luis Suarez away from the club during Copa America. Ian Fray and Leo Campana scored for Miami, while Cucho Hernández scored for Columbus.
The winner of the Inter Miami-Columbus match will face the winner of Tuesday’s match between Tigres UANL and New York City FC.
