We study the behavior of strongly interacting matter under an external magnetic field in the context of nonlocal Polyakov?Nambu?Jona-Lasinio (PNJL)-like models. We find that at zero temperature the condensates display the well-known Magnetic Catalysis effect, showing a good quantitative agreement with lattice QCD results. Moreover, when extended to finite temperature we find that the Inverse Magnetic Catalysis effect is naturally incorporated.
