The upcoming match will also be the first ever annual “Continental Clasico”, where the match will feature two of the three 2026 World Cup hosts.
USA vs Mexico date and time
The exciting USA and Mexico clash will take place on Wednesday, April 19 just outside Phoenix, Arizona.
However, since the game will fall outside a designated FIFA international window, clubs are not required to release their players for international duty. As such, either of the rosters will seemingly not feature their most notable stars. Fans can instead see a majority of domestic-based players for both sides.
Tickets and livestream
Tickets for the upcoming match have gone on sale since March 23, and are currently available for purchase. Fans looking to watch the match live can do so on ESPN.
The Continental Clasico
The Continental Clasico was is a new annual event that U.S. Soccer announced early in March of 2023. The event will feature the USMNT playing against a team determined from North, Central, or South America.
The first opponent to start of the competition in 2023 has been determined as Mexico. Since the United States received an automatic qualification for the 2026 World Cup as joint hosts, they will not participate in the CONCACAF qualification.
As such, the upcoming event will serve as a way of securing a match against top-level competition during a four-year World Cup cycle.
USA vs Mexico head to head
