New England Revolution host Inter Miami CF on Sunday, November 1, 2026, at 7:00 p.m. in Foxborough, Massachusetts, on Eastern Standard Time (EST, UTC−05:00). Kickoff at Gillette Stadium corresponds to Monday, November 2, at 00:00 UTC. It is a regular-season meeting with direct implications for Eastern Conference playoff seeding, not a playoff elimination game.
The date difference matters for anyone following the fixture from outside North America. Massachusetts switches from daylight saving time to standard time in the early hours of November 1. Consequently, a 7:00 p.m. kickoff that Sunday uses EST, not EDT. The venue's official event listing and both teams' published schedules confirm the November 1 date, kickoff and venue.
Both teams have already reached the postseason, but their positions in the conference table still matter. Following matches played on October 28, New England stood on 58 points from 32 games, while Inter Miami had 56 points from 32 games. Their two-point separation gives the meeting a clear consequence: a Miami win would put the visitors ahead of New England on points with one regular-season match remaining for each club; a Revolution win would increase New England's advantage to five points.
New England has already guaranteed a top-three Eastern Conference finish and home-field advantage in Round One of the Audi 2026 MLS Cup Playoffs. That was confirmed after its October 28 victory over Red Bull New York. The November 1 match therefore cannot take away that particular achievement, but it can influence the final order near the top of the East and the eventual playoff opponents. Exact seeds and pairings will not be settled by this fixture alone.
Under MLS's 2026 competition guidelines, teams finishing first through seventh in each conference advance directly to the Round One best-of-three series, while eighth and ninth enter a single-elimination Wild Card match. League rules, rather than the result of one game in isolation, determine the final bracket and any tiebreakers. The regular season concludes on November 7, 2026, so supporters should check the updated standings after Decision Day before assuming a specific postseason matchup.
The Revolution enter the fixture after a dramatic 3-2 home win against Red Bull New York on October 28, their fourth consecutive victory. Dor Turgeman scored twice, Dániel Gazdag supplied the late winner, and captain Carles Gil recorded his 100th career MLS regular-season assist. The result took New England to an 18-10-4 record and 58 points. The club's official match recap also confirms its first-round home-field advantage.
That momentum gives New England a chance to close its home regular-season schedule against a direct seeding rival. Gil's ability to create chances and Turgeman's recent scoring form are practical storylines to watch, although neither guarantees that the same players will start or that the recent run will continue.
Miami arrives after a 2-2 home draw with FC Cincinnati on October 28. Luis Suárez opened the scoring for Miami, and Riquelme Fillipi scored a late equalizer. The draw left Inter Miami with a 15-6-11 record and 56 points. Its official recap confirms both the score and the upcoming trip to Foxborough.
With Lionel Messi and Suárez among the attacking players named in Miami's most recent starting lineup, the visitors have proven creative and finishing options. Still, fans should treat any proposed starting XI as provisional until the clubs publish official matchday teams. Miami's immediate objective is straightforward: take points from a nearby rival and improve its position before the final round.
The sides drew 1-1 in their first meeting of the 2026 season in South Florida. In their previous meeting at Gillette Stadium, on July 9, 2025, Miami won 2-1. Those results provide context but do not predict what happens this time. The November game arrives with New England on a winning streak and Miami pushing to make up ground in the table.
For New England, the central question is whether its recent attacking form can create chances while limiting Miami's responses. For Miami, the challenge is to manage the hosts' momentum and turn possession or attacking opportunities into an away result. Both assessments are match considerations, not confirmed tactics or lineup announcements.
This is New England's final home game of the 2026 MLS regular season. Fans planning to attend should use the Revolution's official matchday guide and the Gillette Stadium event page for the latest entry, parking and accessibility details. The stadium operates cashless concessions and services, and its bag restrictions should be checked before traveling.
A special-event MBTA train is scheduled to leave Boston's South Station at 5:00 p.m. Foxborough, EST (UTC−05:00), on November 1, with a planned arrival at Foxboro Station at 6:00 p.m. EST. The club lists round-trip tickets at $20 through the mTicket app and warns that regular commuter-rail tickets do not apply to this special service. Train tickets and capacity should be confirmed before departure; the club says the return train leaves 30 minutes after the match ends.
Both teams have one more regular-season game scheduled for Saturday, November 7, 2026. New England travels to Orlando City SC, while Miami hosts Charlotte FC. Those fixtures form part of the final push to set the Eastern Conference standings. The official Inter Miami schedule and Revolution schedule list those closing matches.
For now, the clearest takeaway is simple: New England vs. Inter Miami kicks off November 1 at 7:00 p.m. EST at Gillette Stadium (00:00 UTC November 2). A playoff berth is not on the line for these already-qualified clubs, but a valuable place in the Eastern Conference pecking order is.
