Inter Miami prepares for the 2025 MLS season, bolstered by Messi`s influence and strategic roster changes.

Major League Soccer (MLS) is gearing up for an exciting 2025 season, with the MLS NEXT Pro season set to commence on March 7. The league has unveiled its regular season schedule and playoff format, which will now include the top nine teams from each conference, intensifying the competition for playoff spots. In a thrilling showcase, the East All-Stars triumphed over the West All-Stars with a score of 4-2 in the 2024 MLS NEXT All-Star Game held at Historic Crew Stadium.

Inter Miami is making headlines with significant roster changes as they prepare for the upcoming season. The team has strategically acquired high-profile players alongside emerging talents, aiming to enhance their competitive edge. Lionel Messi`s influence remains pivotal, as his second season with the club is anticipated to greatly impact their standings. Inter Miami`s valuation has surged to $1.19 billion, reflecting a 17% increase from the previous year, largely attributed to Messi`s star power.

As Inter Miami looks to solidify its position, they will face formidable opponents such as LA Galaxy, Atlanta United, and New York City FC, alongside rising challengers like Charlotte FC, Nashville SC, and Austin FC. Austin FC has made a notable move by signing Albanian forward Myrto Uzuni for a club-record transfer fee, further emphasizing the competitive landscape of the league.

Atlanta United`s preseason has been mixed, suffering a loss in their first match after conceding two late goals. They are scheduled to play six preseason matches to fine-tune their squad for the new season. Additionally, the New York Red Bulls have transferred forward Dante Vanzeir to Belgian Pro League side KAA Gent, while Vancouver Whitecaps FC has secured Canadian international winger Jayden Nelson from Rosenborg BK, showcasing the dynamic transfer activity within the league.
