Sunday night at Nu Stadium comes with a simple, compelling question: can Inter Miami keep turning momentum into another win?
Inter Miami CF (8W-2L-4D, 28 points) carries the MLS regular season forward at home this Sunday, May 24, hosting the Philadelphia Union (1W-9L-4D, 7 points). Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. ET, with Nu Stadium scheduled to be taken over by ERGO NEXT Insurance Takeover Night.
Inter Miami is coming off a statement of its own. Last Saturday night, Inter Miami earned a 2-0 victory over the Portland Timbers. The result marked the club’s historic first victory at Nu Stadium and also a third consecutive win in this regular season. Captain Leo Messi and forward Germán Berterame scored the goals that carried that night.
The match is more than just another fixture for Inter Miami’s season. In the regular season so far. Inter Miami has recorded eight wins. two losses. and four draws for a total of 28 points. leaving the team second in the Eastern Conference standings. Messi—who is the reigning MLS Landon Donovan MVP Award and Golden Boot presented by Audi winner—leads the team in goals with 12 so far. and is tied in second place in the race for the Golden Boot. Midfielder Telasco Segovia has been pivotal in creating chances, serving as Inter Miami’s top assist provider with eight.
Philadelphia Union arrive with a tougher looking stretch. The Union visit Nu Stadium for the first time after playing out a 1-1 draw at home against the Columbus Crew in their past regular season fixture. Overall. Philadelphia have recorded one win. nine losses. and four draws for a total of seven points. and they sit last in the Eastern Conference table. Forward Milan Iloski has been a steady source of attack. contributing four goals and an assist so far this regular season.
One reason the stakes feel unusually sharp is the matchup history. This Sunday’s meeting will be the 14th between the sides in club history. Inter Miami has six wins, four losses, and three draws in past games against Philadelphia. The deeper storyline. though. is recent form: Inter Miami is unbeaten in its past five encounters against Philadelphia. going 4W and 1 D. In their last meeting—on the road in the 2025 regular season last May—the sides played to a 3-3 draw.
Even the build-up around the stadium is already shaping the weekend. Nu Stadium is scheduling parking and entry logistics for a smooth arrival, with parking lots opening at 2:30 p.m. ET. Fans securing single-match parking passes must do so in advance. and single-match parking passes are only available on the Yellow Lot because parking in the Audi Black Lot and the Red Lot is sold out. On-site purchases are not available on matchday, and the policy is in place due to high demand and expected sellouts.
