It would also extend Messi’s legendary run in South Florida, securing his fifth trophy since joining MLS.

If the match ends in a draw after 90 minutes, the 2026 Campeones Cup champion will be decided directly by a penalty shootout. There is no extra time played in this competition.

What happens if Inter Miami lose to Cruz Azul today?

If Inter Miami fall to Cruz Azul today, the Mexican side will hoist the 2026 Campeones Cup trophy. That result would mark Cruz Azul’s first-ever Campeones Cup title, avenging their 2-0 defeat to the Columbus Crew in 2021.
