Interested in watching soccer superstar Lionel Messi play against Dallas FC?

You’ll need to wait a bit.

Messi, who signed a free agent contract with Inter Miami CF his week, won’t play against Dallas FC this season.

Why? Because Dallas FC’s only playing date against Inter Miami CF was earlier this season. Dallas beat Miami 1-0 on April 8.

The two clubs are not scheduled to play the rest of the season. The MLS regular season stretches from late February until October.

Inter MIami has not announced when Messi will play his first match with his new club.
