Inter Miami vs Club Leon: Leagues Cup 2026 kick-off time, TV and streaming
Inter Miami will host Club Leon at Nu Stadium in Miami, Florida, in a Group A Leagues Cup 2026 fixture on Wednesday, August 12, 2026. The Herons must secure a win in normal time to keep their tournament hopes alive after their opening-day loss to CF Monterrey.
Inter Miami finished as runners-up in the 2025 Leagues Cup and suffered a 1-0 opening defeat to Monterrey on August 8 when a 90th-minute goal by Diego Rossi decided the game despite Rodrigo De Paul’s 22nd-minute strike. As a result, the Herons require a normal-time victory to avoid a group-stage exit, and even then their fate does not rest solely with them. The match presents a test for new head coach Guillermo Hoyos, who has not suffered back-to-back defeats since taking charge of the Major League Soccer side in April.
Club Leon have responded to a difficult start to their Liga MX Apertura campaign with a 1-0 win over 10-man Pachuca. They followed that with consecutive Leagues Cup victories over Nashville SC (1-0) and Orlando City (2-1). Those results have placed La Fiera in a strong position to secure qualification to the knockout stages for the first time in their history.
The fixture will be played at Nu Stadium, Inter Miami’s home ground in Miami, Florida, on Wednesday, August 12, 2026. In India the match kicks off at 5:00 AM IST on Thursday, August 13, 2026. Fans in India can watch live online on the Apple TV app and website with the required subscription; viewers in the UK can watch on the Apple TV platform, and Apple TV will show the match live online in the United States.

A normal-time victory is the minimum result Inter Miami must achieve to stave off elimination from Group A; even with a win their progression would not be guaranteed and will depend on other group results.
