The MLS is Back Tournament kicks off tonight as host side Orlando City SC take on MLS newbies Inter Miami CF. Follow along with all of the action wherever you are with our Orlando City vs Inter Miami live stream guide.
The MLS season was initially set to run from February through October, though the season was put on ice after just two weeks of play due to the ongoing pandemic. After a few months off, Major League Soccer returns tonight with a condensed tournament format and plenty to play for with group matches contributing to regular season standings and the overall winner of MLS is Back gaining a CONCACAF Champions League berth.
Orlando City take to the field in their home city tonight in what marks their third MLS game of the 2020 campaign. Though pre-lockdown form counts for relatively little after such a long break in competitive fixtures, the Lions picked up just one point from their opening two games in a 0-0 tie at home to Real Salt Lake in February. A defeat at Colorado Rapids followed in their second game.
The David Beckham-backed Inter Miami fare even worse as the club's inaugural season kicked off, suffering back-to-back defeats at LAFC and D.C. United. The Herons will hope to use the MLS is Back Tournament, including its opening Florida rivalry game, to start picking up some points.

Orlando City vs Inter Miami online from outside your country
We have details of all the US, UK, Australian and Canadian broadcasters of this tournament further down in this guide. If you're intent on watching MLS games, but find yourself away from home then you'll run into problems when trying to stream your domestic coverage online from abroad as it's likely to be geo-blocked.
That's where a VPN (Virtual Private Network) can be a lifesaver. They allow you to virtually change the ISP of your laptop, tablet, or mobile to one that's back in your home country, letting you watch as if you were back there.
VPNs are incredibly easy to use and have the added benefit of giving you a further layer of security when surfing the web. There are lots of options, but we recommend ExpressVPN for a number of reasons. It offers fast connection speeds, a wide variety of server locations, it's very reliable and the customer service is top-notch as well. Looking for other options? Here are some alternatives that are on sale right now.
