How to watch the Major League Soccer match between Nashville SC and Inter Miami CF, as well as kick-off time and team news.

Nashville SC welcome Inter Miami CFto GEODIS Park on Saturday for a Decision Day showdown packed with MLS CupPlayoffs drama and high-stakes tension.

The hosts currently sit sixth in the Eastern Conference, but with just a two-point cushion over eighth-placed Chicago Fire, their playoff fate is far from sealed. A stumble here could force them into the dreaded play-in round. Last time out, Nashville salvaged a 1-1 draw away at Montreal, thanks to a late equalizer from Sam Surridge, whose timely strike kept their postseason hopes alive.

As for Inter Miami, the spotlight once again falls on their star-studded lineup, headlined by none other than Lionel Messi. The Argentine maestro skipped international duty last weekend to focus on club commitments, and it paid off in style. With Javier Mascherano's men firing on all cylinders, Miami cruised to a 4-0 rout of Atlanta United, extending their red-hot run of form and reinforcing their status as genuine title contenders.

Nashville SC team news

Nashville SC have enjoyed a remarkable resurgence under B.J. Callaghan, who has breathed new life into the club in his first full season at the helm. After missing the postseason for the first time in franchise history last year, Callaghan — a former USMNT interim boss and long-time assistant — has steered the Coyotes back into playoff contention while also delivering their first major silverware. Earlier this month, Nashville captured the 2025 U.S. Open Cup, edging Austin FC 2-1 in a dramatic final that cemented their return to prominence.

A huge part of that success stems from the dynamic Designated Player duo of Sam Surridge and Hany Mukhtar, who've formed one of the most lethal partnerships in MLS. Surridge, in electric form, bagged 23 goals and 5 assists in league play while adding another six in cup competition to claim the U.S. Open Cup Golden Boot. Mukhtar, the 2022 MLS MVP, has been just as influential, continuing to dazzle with 16 goals and 11 assists, reaffirming his status among the league’s elite creators.

Inter Miami CF team news

Meanwhile, Inter Miami are setting their sights on the biggest prize of all, the MLS Cup Final on December 6. After deep runs in the Concacaf Champions Cup semifinals and Leagues Cup final, as well as a historic FIFA Club World Cup appearance that saw them reach the Round of 16, Javier Mascherano's men have their eyes locked on glory.

At the heart of their success is Lionel Messi, who continues to rewrite the MLS record books. With 26 goals and 18 assists, the Argentine legend is on course to claim both the Golden Boot and a historic back-to-back MVP crown. Luis Suarez, his long-time strike partner, has chipped in with 10 goals and 10 assists, while fellow South American arrivals Rodrigo De Paul and Maxi Falcón have provided stability and flair in key areas.

This campaign also marks the final chapter for Spanish greats Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba, who have confirmed they’ll hang up their boots at season's end, bringing an illustrious era of Barcelona icons in pink to a poignant close.
