TV channel and live stream options for USA vs Canada are listed below.
The United States and Canada meet in an international friendly, bringing together two nations whose post-World Cup trajectories have taken sharply different paths in recent weeks.
Mauricio Pochettino's USMNT arrive in excellent form after three consecutive wins, including back-to-back victories over South American opposition. A 4-1 defeat of Peru was followed by a 4-2 win over Chile, with teenagers Mathis Albert and Julian Hall providing standout moments across both matches. Albert became the youngest scorer in USMNT history in the modern era when he came off the bench to seal the Chile result, surpassing a record previously held by Christian Pulisic. Sebastian Berhalter scored and assisted in both of those friendlies, cementing himself as one of the camp's key figures.
The USMNT then beat Mexico 3-0 in their most recent outing, extending a strong run of results under Pochettino and giving the squad genuine momentum heading into this fixture.
Canada also arrive with confidence. Les Rouges beat Peru 2-0 in their most recent match and recorded a 1-0 win over Chile earlier in the same international window. Their World Cup campaign on home soil saw them reach the round of 16 before falling to Morocco, a run that included a 6-0 victory over Qatar and demonstrated real progress for the programme.
Both teams have been using this international window to blood younger players and test squad depth. The fixture carries competitive edge given the history between these CONCACAF rivals, with the last five meetings split closely between the two sides.
