Live streaming, TV, and how to watch the match

The clash will take place on Monday, Feb. 26 at Dignity Health Sports Park, Carson, California, at 10:15 p.m. ET and 7:15 p.m. PT. The telecast will stream live on Paramount+ in English and on ESPN Deportes and ESPN+ in Spanish.

Predictions

This will be the 43rd meeting between the two teams. The first after their last clash in the 2022 CONCACAF Women’s Championship. Since then, Mexico has been in superb form, with no losses in 2023. Meanwhile, the #2-ranked team in the world has lost just one game to their neighbors till now, and the upcoming fixture isn’t expected to add to the balance. With both teams in fine attacking form, we expect it to be 3-1 to the USA.

Overall, the USWNT in the Olympic year has been off to a glorious start. The team will hand itself over to the new upcoming coach, Emma Hayes, in a couple of months. And a title with the Gold Cup will help their morale heading to Paris.
