How to watch Inter Miami on TV?

INTER MIAMI CF

The Inter Miami CF franchise is one of the newest in Major League Soccer having played its first season in 2020. The club was founded in January 2018, the culmination of a long, grueling process that started late in 2012.

There were talks of putting an MLS franchise in Miami in 2012 and it became reality in 2013 when former MLS great David Beckham was identified as a potential owner. Beckham had an option in his player contract which allowed him to purchase an expansion team for $25 million when he retired from play.

In 2018, it was announced the Miami Beckham United Group was awarded a franchise in the city. Beckham, who also serves as team president, is part of an ownership group – now called Miami Freedom Park LLC – that includes Marcelo Claure, Masasyoshi Son, and Jorge and Jose Mas.

The Inter Miami CF complete schedule can be watched via live stream on ESPN+ as well as a number of other network apps such as ABC and FOX.
