Inter Miami CF begin their Champions Tour on Saturday with a preseason friendly at Peruvian Primera División powerhouse Alianza Lima.
Saturday’s game marks the first of three preseason tests in South America for the 2025 MLS Cup presented by Audi champions.
They’ll also visit Colombia’s Atlético Nacional on Jan. 31 and meet Ecuadorian powerhouse Barcelona de Guayaquil on Feb. 7.
It all builds towards Miami’s eagerly anticipated 2026 MLS season debut on Feb. 21, when they visit Son Heung-Min and LAFC at the legendary Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum (9:30 pm ET | Apple TV).
Peru’s second-most decorated side with 25 league titles, Alianza Lima are also in preseason mode before their Liga 1 campaign begins in late January.
Alianza, who will also compete in this year’s Copa Libertadores tournament, feature Peru national team legend Paolo Guerrero.
Alianza are Miami’s second Peruvian preseason opponent in as many years. In 2025, the Herons defeated Club Universitario de Deportes 5-4 in penalty kicks following a scoreless draw in front of 80,000-plus fans.
