Overview
- Kickoff is 8:30 p.m. local at Estadio Akron on October 14, translating to 10:30 p.m. ET and 7:30 p.m. PT in the United States.
- Viewing varies by market: Mexico carries the match on TUDN, ViX, Amazon Prime, Canal 5 and Azteca 7; the United States offers streaming on Foxsports.com, Fox One, the Fox Sports App and Fubo; Ecuador airs it on ECDF.
- ECDF offers an online feed in Ecuador via YouTube and web access for $9.99, alongside cable and open-signal options on local providers.
- Mexico enters under scrutiny after a 4-0 loss to Colombia and injury absences for Edson Álvarez and Raúl Jiménez, with reports pointing to Santiago Giménez to lead the attack.
- Ecuador arrives with a disciplined defense that conceded nine goals in CONMEBOL qualifying, travels without Moises Caicedo and Piero Hincapié, features Kendry Páez and Enner Valencia, and faces a betting market that slightly favors Mexico.
