CBS Sports Golazo Network will provide live match coverage of the 2023 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup semifinals this month as Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami CF face FC Cincinnati and the Houston Dynamo take on Real Salt Lake. The semifinals matches are set for Aug. 23 with Inter Miami and FC Cincinnati playing at 7 p.m. ET and the second one beginning at 9:30 p.m. ET.
The Herons have been on a hot streak ever since the Barcelona legend arrived as he continued his incredible form with a two-goal showing on Wednesday night in Leagues Cup play. Messi’s ex-Barcelona teammate Sergio Busquets has joined the fray and Jordi Alba recently made his Inter Miami debut against Orlando. Depending on what happens in Leagues Cup, Miami is currently two Open Cup wins away from potentially hoisting its first trophy in franchise history.
The matches will be available on CBS Sports Golazo Network through Paramount+, the CBS Sports App, Pluto TV and CBSSports.com. The final will air live on CBS Sports Network and Paramount+ on Wednesday, Sept. 27.
