Episode Details

Mexico kicks off the 2026 World Cup with a fiery home showdown against South Africa at legendary Estadio Azteca, where they’ve never lost an opening match since 1994. Riding a wave of recent wins over Ghana, Australia, and Serbia, El Tri enters with momentum and a roaring crowd on their side. South Africa, meanwhile, settles for draws against teams that won’t even be in the tournament. With full squads and tactical setups locked in — Mexico’s stars like Álvarez and Jiménez ready to shine, and South Africa’s Lyle Foster leading the charge — this rematch promises drama. Kickoff is at 3 PM ET / 12 PM PT, broadcast live on FOX and Telemundo in the U.S. and globally.
