Lionel Messi has nothing left to prove after leading Inter Miami to a Leagues Cup win that was more than improbable before his signing, given the team's previous poor form. The club doesn't seem keen on slowing down with the US Open Cup fast approaching, too, and there's still a couple of months of regular season play to get through. We'll show you how to watch Messi and Inter Miami vs. New York Red Bulls live streams online, wherever you are in the world.
Luckily, Major League Soccer offers affordable access in many regions through a comprehensive streaming partnership with Apple TV Plus. Read on for all your watch options, including guidance on using VPNs to watch Messi's MLS run in countries that don't carry the MLS Season Pass.
How to watch Inter Miami vs. New York Red Bulls live stream in the US
The MLS Season Pass usually costs $14.99 per month or $79 per year for Apple TV Plus subscribers in the United States ($99 annually for non-subscribers), but Apple has dropped prices considerably for those interested in watching Messi's electric run with Miami.
Existing Apple TV Plus subscribers can watch the rest of the 2023 MLS season for just $39 now. If you'd rather pay monthly, that price was slightly reduced to $12.99. Those interested in MLS alone can get the full Season Pass for $49 or $14.99 monthly. We've seen similar half-off offers in regions like the UK.
US residents also have FS1 to fall back on. If you don't have a cable package that includes FS1, consider signing up for cheap TV streaming services like Sling Blue (the first month is $20 for new users). FuboTV also has FS1 as part of its base Pro plan, which costs $75 monthly, but a free 7-day trial is available.

Apple TV's MLS Season Pass add-on is available in nearly every country Apple TV Plus is available in. Here are some countries where you'll find Apple TV Plus' MLS Season Pass. Prices vary from region to region but should be within reason and comparable to the US price mentioned above.
- Americas: US, Canada, Argentina, Mexico, Brazil, and more
- Europe: UK, Germany, Sweden, Ireland, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, and more
- Asia-Pacific: Australia, India, Phillippines, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and more
- Africa: Gambia, Niger, Botswana, Cape Verde, Ghana, Uganda, and more
- Middle East: Israel, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Egypt, and more
There are some glaring exclusions: Turkey, Jamaica, Iceland, Albania, Romania, Russia, Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, Singapore, and China, to name a few, all don't have access at this time.
If you happen to live in one of the few countries that don't have MLS Season Pass or you can't find those same half-off deals where you are, you can try signing up with a VPN. This tool lets you trick Apple TV Plus or other live TV streaming services into thinking you're signing up from within a supported country. You may also need to provide an appropriate postal code and payment method for that country, so keep that in mind.
