How to watch Lionel Messi and Argentina on TV and live stream during September 2023 international break
- Messi has changed Inter Miami's fortunes since signing in the summer
- Former Barcelona forward expected to feature in World Cup qualifiers against Ecuador and Bolivia
- Inter Miami will be without Messi for upcoming game vs Sporting KC
Crowds in the United States may have been swept up in Lionel Messi-mania since his move to Inter Miami but will have to wait until after September's international break to see him in Major League Soccer action again.
The 2022 World Cup winner has wasted little time in showing his prestige in the USA, leading the Herons to 2023 Leagues Cup glory which saw them qualify for CONCACAF's Champions Cup.
Messi has scored 11 goals for Miami so far as they target a play-off spot, but for now the former Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain forward's attention will turn to the international scene with Argentina in 2026 World Cup qualifying action.
Here's how to keep up to speed with Argentina's games during the international break.
Argentina vs Ecuador
- Location: Buenos Aires, Argentina
- Stadium: Estadio Mas Monumental
- Date: 8 September 2023

The World Cup champions' qualifying campaign begins with a home clash with Ecuador in Buenos Aires.
La Albiceleste are undefeated in their last five meetings with their South American rivals, last losing to them in 2015 as Frickson Erazo and Felipe Caicedo both scored late on in a 2-0 win. The likes of Javier Mascherano, Nicolas Otamendi and Javier Pastore were all in action for Argentina that day.
Recent meetings have been more one-sided, though the last fixture between the two ended in a 1-1 draw. Julian Alvarez's opener was cancelled out by Enner Valencia's 93rd-minute equaliser.
