Messi Mania in Miami: How to Witness the Debut You Didn't Know You Needed (But Totally Do)
So, you haven't been living under a rock (or a particularly large seashell) and you're aware that Lionel Messi, the little magician himself, is gracing the fields of Major League Soccer with his presence. And guess what? His debut is about to go down for Inter Miami against Cruz Azul in the Leagues Cup!
This, my friends, is a history-making moment you NEED to be a part of (even if it's from the comfort of your couch). But with all the excitement, you might be wondering: how on earth do I watch this glorious occasion? Fear not, fellow football fanatics, for I am here to be your guide!
Buckle Up, Buttercup: Here's Where the Action's At
The match is set to kick off on Friday, July 19th (that's right, it's practically happening as we speak!) at 8:00 PM Eastern Time. Mark your calendars, set those alarms, and prepare to witness greatness (or at least some fancy footwork).
Channel Surfing? Not Today
Now, depending on where you're located, tuning in might require some slight channel gymnastics. Here's the breakdown:
- US Folks: Calling all American eagles! You can catch the match live on Apple TV with an MLS Season Pass subscription.
- Mexico on Your Mind? Our friends south of the border can also enjoy the game on Apple TV. ¡Olé!
- The Rest of the World: If you're outside the US and Mexico, things get a little trickier. You might have to do some digging to see if any local broadcasters have picked up the game.
Pro Tip: If all else fails, the internet is a vast and mysterious place. Just be safe and steer clear of any sketchy streaming sites!
