How to Watch Mexico vs Japan: Stream International Soccer Friendlies Live, TV Channel

Mexico and Japan will clash in the first of two international friendlies both teams will face in the next week.

Japan has lost five of its seven meetings with Mexico to date but will look to turn the clock back in the hopes of leaving its mark on the Asian representatives when they face off in a friendly fixture on Saturday. The Samurai Blue has travelled to the United States for the first of two friendly games in the space of one week and will take on Mauricio Pochettino’s Stars and Stripes next up. First, however, Hajime Moriyasu’s side will look to get one over on Mexico as both teams continue their preparations for the 2026 World Cup, with both having already locked down their places in the tournament finals.

Mexico has long since known it would be taking part in the next World Cup after being named alongside the U.S. and Canada as co-hosts of the competition.

Japan, meanwhile, had to take the hard route and was in fact the first non-hosting nation to secure a place in the tournament after winnings its group in AFC qualifying.

Fast forward to today, and Mexico will hope to have an advantage in home support when these two teams square off at Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum in Oakland, California.

There are question marks as to whether Orbelin Pineda will be involved in Saturday’s showdown after the AEK Athens midfielder was delayed in reaching the west coast:

Mexico has also had to deal with some disruption in training after it was reported thieves managed to break into one of the team vehicles and steal some of their equipment.

Nonetheless, Javier Aguirre’s side will hope to overcome that distraction and start this international break with a win in the bank before they face South Korea in several days.
