Real Salt Lake (5-1-1, 16 points, t-3rd West / t-4th Shield MLS) continues its 2026 Major League Soccer campaign with the highly-anticipated kickoff against defending MLS Cup champions Inter Miami CF (4-1-3, 15 points, 2nd East / 7th Shield MLS) at America First Field in Sandy (7:30p MT kickoff), available on Apple TV.

With a win Wednesday against global icon Lionel Messi and Miami, RSL would own five consecutive home wins to start the season for the first time in 22 years, while extending its active unbeaten streak to seven matches. The midweek Miami visit continues RSL's first three-game week of 2026, as the Club next travels to Carson, Calif., to face the LA Galaxy on Sunday, April 26 (5:00p MT kickoff) in Apple TV's featured Sunday Night Soccer contest.

This year's RSL start marks its best-ever in 22 seasons, with RSL amassing 16 points through its first seven matches (matching 2011), buoyed by a perfect 4-0-0 mark at home, including Saturday's 4-2 dismantling of visiting San Diego FC. The win extended RSL's home win streak to six games dating back to last fall, while the standing-room-only crowd at America First Field extended the Club's sellout streak to nine games and counting.

The four-goal first half against San Diego - which featured two goals in the first six minutes, including U.S. World Cup hopeful Diego Luna striking early for a second straight match - was RSL's first since June 1, 2024. Rookie striker Sergi Solans scored his fourth and fifth goals of the season to seize the Club's Golden Boot lead - the first-ever striker in RSL history to notch more than three goals in his first five starts - while Designated Player FW Morgan Guilavogui scored his debut MLS goal to give RSL the 4-1 halftime advantage. For their exquisite performances, both Luna and Solans were named Monday to the MLSsoccer.com "Team of the Matchday" Best XI for Week 8 of the 2026 campaign.
