Inter Miami fixures in Nepali Time: Messi’s Herons Return From International Break to Chase a Playoff Spot

Every Inter Miami Fixture in Nepali Time, From D.C. United to Decision Day

Nepali football fans have a long wait before Lionel Messi is back in action. Inter Miami’s next match is 11 days away, since MLS is on pause for the September/October FIFA international window, the recurring break in the calendar when clubs release players for national team duty, and every remaining game arrives in the middle of the night in Nepal.

The Herons sit third in the Eastern Conference with 46 points from 26 games, but they go into the break winless in five matches, including a 2-1 loss at Columbus Crew in their last outing. Messi played that game before reporting for a farewell Argentina appearance against Benin on 6 October, which will be his final match for the national team.

Inter Miami’s remaining regular-season schedule has them at home for four of their last seven games, at their new stadium, Nu Stadium, in Miami, with away trips to Atlanta, New Jersey and New England. The season wraps up on Decision Day, 7 November, when the top nine teams in each conference lock in their MLS Cup Playoffs places.

Full Fixture List (Nepal Time)

Note: clocks in the US fall back for daylight saving on 1 November, so the last two games are five hours and forty-five minutes behind Nepal rather than four hours and forty-five minutes.

Team News

Inter Miami’s recent form has dipped, with four draws and a defeat in their last five matches heading into the international break. Messi remains the club’s talisman and leading scorer for the season, with Luis Suarez also among the goals, but the defence has been the bigger concern, having conceded in each of the last several matches. Sergio Busquets continues to anchor midfield when fit.

D.C. United’s form and squad news closer to kick-off were not available at the time of writing, so check for updates nearer the match.

What’s at Stake

Inter Miami are third in the Eastern Conference, level on points with New England Revolution just above them and a handful of points clear of the chasing pack. A top-seven finish avoids the Wild Card round altogether, so results across these final seven games will decide whether Miami get a bye into the best-of-three first round or have to survive a single-elimination match first.

Note: Kick-off times and dates come from Inter Miami’s official ticketing page and are correct at the time of writing, but MLS fixtures can shift for broadcast reasons, so it’s worth double-checking closer to each date.
