Have an interview with a company I really want to work for tomorrow. My last job I was laid off b/c of an acquisition&recently accepted a job at a diff company b/c I couldnt afford not to. I got this invite shortly after. The place I’m interviewing at the job wouldn’t start til next year. I dont want to seem like a job hopper. Do i tell them I’m at a new role or just not bring it up? The acquisition was public so they can see Im no longer employed with the most recent work history on my resume

Don’t bring it up, but if they bring it up tell them you’re freelancing and leave it at that.

Wont they find out through background check ?

You're a little late if you're only prepping for your job interview the night before the interview… That is not enough time. Since it is public what is happening at your company, if they ask you why you're looking, simply say that due to the nature of what is happening in your company you thought it was best to see what else is available. If you want the job, make sure that you are telling them why you are interested in their company.

I’ve been preparing for weeks and have done a ton of interviews recently so I feel fine about how much I’ve prepped. I’ve just been debating on how i want to handle that aspect now.

You should tell them!!!
Honesty is always the best policy
