Miami will play Columbus Crew on Feb. 12, the Charleston Battery on Feb. 15 and Charlotte FC on Feb. 19. Tickets for the tournament are available online via SeatGeek.com.

The regular season kicks off Feb. 26 with a 6 p.m. home game against the Chicago Fire.
The team is undergoing a major makeover this offseason after not making the playoffs in 2021. More than 10 players who started games last season will not be on the roster for 2022, including 2020 MVP Lewis Morgan, Designated Players Rodolfo Pizarro and Blaise Matuidi, and defenders Leandro Gonzalez Pirez and Christian Makoun.
Among the newcomers are Brazilian midfielder Jean Mota from Santos, midfielder Bryce Duke from Los Angeles FC, midfielder/fullback Mo Adams from Atlanta United, Bolivian center back Jairo Quinteros, winger Ariel (son of Roy) Lassiter, and MLS Draft pick Ryan Sailor. Jamaican defender Damion Lowe and Swedish-American center back Christopher McVey are expected to join in the coming days and a few players are being promoted from the club’s USL Fort Lauderdale team.
