TV channel and live stream options for Red Bull New York vs Inter Miami CF are listed below.
Inter Miami CF travel to Sports Illustrated Stadium in New Jersey to face Red Bull New York in a Major League Soccer fixture that carries real weight for both clubs at this stage of the season.
The Red Bulls come into this match sitting in ninth place in the Eastern Conference, a position that leaves Michael Bradley's side with little margin for error if they want to keep their playoff hopes alive.
Inter Miami arrive in a far more comfortable position. Kily Gonzalez's side sit second in the East, and Lionel Messi has been in the form of his life. The Argentine scored twice against Atlanta United in his most recent outing, extending his lead at the top of the MLS Golden Boot standings.
New York's recent run of results makes for difficult reading. Three defeats in their last five matches, including back-to-back losses to Toronto FC and DC United, has put pressure on the home side ahead of a fixture against one of the conference's form teams.
Messi is not the only star drawing attention to the MLS this week. Antoine Griezmann, currently at Orlando City, has been backed to remain in the league for two or three more seasons, while speculation continues to link Neymar with a move to Inter Miami to reunite with his former Barcelona team-mate.
Messi himself has also been away from club duties this week, travelling to Oviedo to receive the 2026 Princess of Asturias Award for Sports, an honour that recognised both his extraordinary career and his charitable work through the Leo Messi Foundation.

Form

Their most recent outing ended in a 0-2 defeat to Toronto FC, and they also fell 0-3 to St. Louis City during that stretch.

Gonzalez's side also posted a 4-0 win over DC United and a 2-0 victory against New York City FC during the same period, though a 2-1 loss to Columbus Crew shows they are not without vulnerability.
