Inter Miami is set to bring another marquee night to its brand‑new home, with the 2026 Michelob ULTRA Campeones Cup headed to Nu Stadium at Miami Freedom Park this September. The reigning MLS Cup champions are lined up to host Mexico’s top club in a one‑off clash for continental bragging rights. Their opponent will be whichever side emerges from the July 25 Campeón de Campeones showdown between Toluca and Cruz Azul. If everything is finalized as expected, it will be one of the first major international club trophies contested at Miami’s new stadium since the team completed its move into the city this spring.
According to the Miami Herald, MLS sources say the 2026 Michelob ULTRA Campeones Cup is expected to be played on Sept. 16 at Nu Stadium, with an official announcement still pending. The Herald also reported that the September match is slated for Apple TV streaming, with ticket details to be released at a later date.
What the Campeones Cup Is
The Campeones Cup is a single match that pairs the previous season’s MLS Cup winner against Liga MX’s Campeón de Campeones, as outlined by Wikipedia. Through the first seven editions the competition has been tight, with Liga MX holding a narrow 4‑3 edge over MLS. That slim margin is part of why a Miami home date matters so much for league pride, not just for the silverware.
Which Mexican Club Will Travel To Miami
The Liga MX representative will be decided in the Campeón de Campeones on July 25, when Toluca meets Cruz Azul at Dignity Health Sports Park, according to an announcement from the venue and league partners. The winner of that match will earn the trip to South Florida to face Inter Miami in September.
How To Watch And Buy Tickets
MLS’s 2026 schedule release notes that Apple TV will carry key cross‑border events this year, including the Michelob ULTRA Campeones Cup, per MLS. Fans who want presale alerts should register at the official Campeones Cup page on Leagues Cup, where organizers are gathering sign‑ups ahead of the general ticket onsale.
Nu Stadium's Moment
Nu Stadium opened earlier this spring as Inter Miami’s long‑planned home at Miami Freedom Park, and hosting the Campeones Cup would rank among its highest‑profile fixtures so far, per the stadium’s site. “I’m so happy to see that dream finally coming to life,” Inter Miami co‑owner David Beckham said in the club’s announcement about moving to Miami, underscoring how central the new venue is to the club’s long‑term plans.
For now, fans should keep an eye on league and club channels for formal confirmation and lock in presale access through the Campeones Cup page. With an early‑September date, national Apple TV coverage and a shiny new stadium in the spotlight, a sellout crowd at Nu Stadium feels like a safe bet. More information on tickets, hospitality options and match‑day plans is expected in the coming weeks as MLS, Inter Miami and Campeones Cup organizers finalize the details.
