MLS 2024 schedule: when does Messi’s Inter Miami play against LA Galaxy? How to get tickets
Inter Miami, who are bidding to return to the MLS playoffs, will face Los Angeles Galaxy in the second of their cross-conference clashes.
After hosting the opening game of the 2024 MLS regular season, Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami will visit the league’s most decorated side in their second match of the campaign.
The Herons welcome Real Salt Lake to DRV PNK Stadium in the season’s curtain-raiser on 21 February 2024, before travelling to California to take on five-time MLS champions Los Angeles Galaxy four days later.
What other Western teams will Miami play?
After Miami’s match-ups with Salt Lake and the Galaxy, there are four more cross-conference clashes on the Floridians’ 2024 regular-season schedule, which was confirmed on Wednesday.
Gerardo ‘Tata’ Martino’s men, who compete in the Eastern Conference, are also due to face Western Conference clubs Colorado Rapids, Sporting Kansas City, Vancouver Whitecaps and St Louis City.
Miami’s remaining 28 regular-season games will all be against fellow Eastern Conference teams.
The 2023 Leagues Cup winners are targeting a return to the MLS playoffs, after missing out on the postseason last term despite a late-campaign upturn in form following the summer signing of Messi.
For the Galaxy, who also missed out on the 2023 playoffs, the visit of Miami is their opening game of the new season.
