Overview

• Lionel Messi and Inter Miami are scheduled to play the San Jose Earthquakes on May 14, 2025, marking Messi's first MLS appearance in the Bay Area.
• The match will take place at the Earthquakes’ PayPal Park, which seats 18,000, after efforts to move the game to the larger Levi’s Stadium failed due to scheduling conflicts.
• Demand for tickets is expected to far exceed supply, with resale prices likely to surge based on trends from previous Messi appearances in MLS games.
• The Earthquakes have decided not to raise season ticket prices for 2025, though secondary market prices are beyond the team’s control.
• Messi, under contract with Inter Miami until the end of the 2025 season, has previously stated he will not play for another club afterward, making this match a rare opportunity for Bay Area fans to see him live.
