The 2023 MLS regular season is coming to a close.
Inter Miami has just two games left on its calendar, both against Charlotte with the first being at home and the second away.

Will Messi play tonight vs. Charlotte?
Messi will not play tonight vs. Charlotte due to the game being in close proximity to the October international break. Messi most recently played Tuesday against Peru -- where he scored a 10-minute brace -- while on international duty with Argentina, which does not provide him ample recovery time to suit up a day later for Inter Miami.
Messi, however, did say he plans to play in Inter Miami's regular-season finale on Saturday, Oct. 21.
What time is the Inter Miami vs. Charlotte MLS game?
Kick-off time from DRV PNK Stadium is slated for 8 p.m. ET.
