How to watch Mexico vs Portugal: Free streams and TV details as World Cup 2026 co-hosts ramp up their preparations

Watch Mexico vs Portugal in an intriguing international friendly today, as FourFourTwo brings you a comprehensive guide on live streams and TV coverage wherever you are in the world.

While there are some crucial World Cup qualification play-offs being played in Mexico in this international window, Mexico themselves are simply getting ready to show the world what they can do on football's biggest stage.

CONCACAF qualifying inevitably lost some of its edge without El Tri, the United States and Canada, but Mexico have been keeping themselves busy.

The World Cup 2026 co-hosts will play three friendlies in the coming days, first against Portugal at Azteca and then against Belgium and Serbia.

Mexico vs Portugal: Preview

Javier Aguirre's Mexico lost their last friendly of 2025 against Paraguay but have already won three on the spin since the turn of the year, defeating Panama, Bolivia and Iceland in January and February.

The co-hosts have reached the last eight of the World Cup only twice, both times as the host nation in 1970 and 1986, and will be hoping for at least more of the same on their own turf this year.

Mexico will be in Group A in the summer and were drawn against South Korea and South Africa, the latter of whom will be their first opponents as the tournament begins.

They will soon find out their final group opponents, who will face the might of the Azteca in June, and Portugal's opening fixture is also yet to be confirmed. They won't play a finals match in Mexico until at least the quarter-finals.

Despite the dismissal of Cristiano Ronaldo against the Republic of Ireland, Portugal made relatively light work of qualifying for the 2026 World Cup.

Under Roberto Martinez, they finished top of Group F by winning four of their six matches, losing in Ireland and drawing against Hungary in Lisbon. Ronaldo might be getting on in years, but he was the top scorer in the group.

Ronaldo would love to get his hands on the World Cup. The chances of him doing so appear to be quite remote, but Portugal are trying to set him up for success with back-to-back friendlies against hosts Mexico and the United States.

FourFourTwo's prediction

Mexico 1-1 Portugal

Azteca can be a mighty foe but we're expecting a tight affair and not many goals.
