Overview
- A first-time MLS champion will be crowned as both Inter Miami and Vancouver reach their inaugural final.
- The match streams on MLS Season Pass on Apple TV, with U.S. coverage on Fox and Fox Deportes.
- Inter Miami hosts after a superior regular-season points total, and this is the club’s last game at Chase Stadium before moving to Miami Freedom Park in 2026.
- If Vancouver wins, Thomas Müller would be the first player to claim both a World Cup and an MLS Cup; a Miami win would give Lionel Messi, Rodrigo De Paul and Sergio Busquets the first such World Cup–MLS title trio.
- Form and context favor a high-profile clash: Messi won the 2025 Golden Boot and has six playoff goals, Müller has eight goals since joining in August, and Vancouver defeated Miami twice earlier this year in CONCACAF play.
