Global soccer superstar, Lionel Messi, will play in Denver in 2026

Nov 20, 2025, 5:18 PM

Many consider him the Michael Jordan or LeBron James of soccer, and Lionel Messi has Denver on his 2026 schedule!

The Colorado Rapids are scheduled to host Inter Miami, Messi’s club, on April 18.

The game will mark the 30th anniversary of the Rapids’ inaugural season, and is the first time Inter Miami, co-owned by David Beckham, will visit Colorado.

The Rapids say the best way to guarantee tickets for the highly-anticipated match against Messi’s club will be by getting season tickets.

Colorado kicks off the MLS season on Feb. 22 at the Seattle Sounders.
