All eyes on Apple TV as Inter Miami’s Lionel Messi & Co. kick off Major League Soccer season

Messi Mania returns to Apple TV and Major League Soccer as the world’s greatest football player embarks on his first full season with Inter Miami CF alongside new signee Luis Suarez and former Barcelona teammates Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets. These four players make Inter Miami THE team to watch as Major League Soccer’s 29th season opens, exclusively on Apple TV+.

“Inter Miami offered me a nice opportunity to dream of winning the club’s first MLS title, to play with big players, who everybody knows, and adapt to my new team and club,” Suarez said. “I am motivated by that challenge.”
Messi will have a full season to work his magic. The eight-time Ballon d’Or winner arrived in Miami midway through last season, boosting ticket sales, jersey sales and Apple TV (the league’s media partner) subscriptions.
While Suarez is 37 and his knees are giving him more trouble, he still had 27 goals and 17 assists with Brazilian club Gremio last season. He’ll play with Messi, Alba and Busquets for the first time since all four were with Barcelona in the 2019-20 season.
“One of the motivations for me coming here was to reunite with them,” Suarez said after his first practice in Miami. “But more than anything, we are very ambitious, very professional and we are committed to showing the young talented Inter Miami players that your age doesn’t matter, what matters is the commitment you have on and off the field.”
