He's coming.

Arguably the greatest player in soccer history, Lionel Messi, should be gracing Saputo Stadium's turf on May 11.

The CF Montreal schedule was released Wednesday and those willing to pay a premium will get to see the World Cup, La Liga, Ligue 1, and Champions League winner (along with around a half dozen former FC Barcelona players) will want to get in the queue to get tickets for when David Beckham's Inter Miami is in town.

The rumour mill has former Barcelona stars Luis Suarez and Andres Iniesta as potential targets to join Messi, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba on the squad. 

Due to the ongoing disaster that is the Olympic Stadium, CF Montreal cannot host a home opener until April 13, when Cincinnati visits Saputo.

Montreal will open the season with seven straight away games.

Tickets go on sale in 2024.
