Major League Soccer and Inter Miami CF have announced a groundbreaking partnership with TikTok that will bring fans closer to the magic of Lionel Messi than ever before.
For the first time in MLS history, a dedicated TikTok stream will focus solely on Messi during the team’s opening 2024 MLS Cup Playoffs match.
The historic broadcast will take place on Friday, October 25th, as Inter Miami host the winner of the Eastern Conference Wild Card match between Atlanta United and CF Montréal.
While the game itself will be available on Apple TV, fans can tune into the @MLS and @InterMiamiCF TikTok channels to experience a unique perspective.
This innovative move is a testament to the global appeal of Messi and the growing popularity of TikTok. As the only MLS team playing on Friday night, Inter Miami and Messi are set to captivate a massive audience on the social media platform.

Messi’s recent performances have been nothing short of extraordinary. He scored a hat trick in Inter Miami’s final regular season match against the New England Revolution and, prior to that, scored another three-goal haul for Argentina against Bolivia.
His exceptional contributions have made him a strong contender for the Landon Donovan MVP award.
