How to watch the Club Friendly match between Inter Miami and NYCFC, as well as kick-off time and team news.
MLS fans will be able to watch Lionel Messi live in action again when Inter Miami take on New York City FC in a friendly encounter where the Argentine superstar will get a tribute for winning his eighth Ballon d’Or.
Messi became the first active MLS player to win the prestigious trophy by defeating Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain forwards, Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe, respectively. As a result, the David Beckham co-owned franchise has decided to organize the game to honor their star-man’s record milestone of eight Ballons d’Or.
Being promoted as “Noche d’Or,” the game at DRV PNK Stadium will include a pre-game ceremony during which the Argentine star will address fans and show off the trophy. It will also feature gold fireworks and a post-game party.
Both teams are already out of the postseason after a disappointing MLS regular season. However, the Herons’ won the inaugural Leagues Cup and were the runners-up in the US Open Cup, inspired by Messi’s mid-season arrival. Inter Miami ended up second from the bottom in the Eastern Conference, tallying 34 points, while New York City FC fared slightly better, finishing 11th with 41 points.

Team news & squads
Inter Miami team news
Inter Miami’s talismanic attacker Lionel Messi will feature in Inter Miami’s friendly match against New York City FC on Friday night, but it may not be for the entire 90 minutes. Manager Tata Martino will definitely miss out on the services of Corentin Jean (ACL), Franco Negri (ligament tear), Ian Fray (ligament tear), and Sergi Kryvtsov due to respective long-term injuries.
Inter Miami Predicted XI: Freese; Gray, Martins, Risa, O’Toole; Perea, Sands; Jasson, Rodriguez, Ledezma; Bakrar.
NYCFC team news
NYCFC will be without the services of attacking midfielder Maxi Moralez after he ruptured his right knee’s ACL back in September, and will not be back until the start of next MLS season.
Central Midfielder Alfredo Morales is also in the same boat and is expected to be sidelined for a considerable period with an adductor issue. Tayvon Gray is another doubt after he injured his hamstring while with the Jamaica national football team.
New York City Predicted XI: Kahlina; Byrne, Privett, Malanda, Lindsey; Westwood, Arfield; Jozwiak, Dejaegere, Calderon; Copetti.
