They were set to play USL Championship side Charleston Battery on Tuesday night, followed by the New York Red Bulls and Nashville SC on Saturday.

Earlier this month, the match between Inter Miami and USL Championship side Miami FC was called off after Miami FC team members tested positive for COVID-19. This marks the second preseason cancellation for the Red Bulls and the third for Nashville.

Inter Miami also canceled Wednesday's scheduled media availability.

In addition to Inter Miami, the Houston Dynamo's match with USL side Austin Bold was also canceled due to positive test in Austin traveling party.

The second-year squad is scheduled to open its MLS season against the LA Galaxy on April 18.
