Argentina host Uruguay in Buenos Aires international friendly on November 14

Argentina will play Uruguay in an international friendly at the Estadio Alberto J. Armando in Buenos Aires on Saturday, November 14. The fixture is Argentina’s first since Lionel Messi, 39, announced his international retirement.

Messi ended his international career in the last international break with a farewell match against Benin that finished 3-0 in Argentina’s favour. The Argentina side, managed by Lionel Scaloni, arrive on a three-match winning run following their FIFA World Cup 2026 final defeat to Spain and will seek to extend that run in their first post-Messi outing.

Uruguay come into the match after recent friendly victories, beating South Korea 4-1 and India 6-1. The Diego Forlán-led La Celeste, described in the build-up as two-time world champions looking to rebuild after underwhelming World Cup performances, are expected to try to control the game from the start, though they will do so as the visiting side.

Broadcasters for the fixture vary by territory: in the host nation the match will be on Telefe and TyC Sports, with streaming available on TyC Sports Play. Brazilian viewers can watch on SporTV, while viewers in the United States can use ViX; Khel Now reports there is no official live-stream partner and the television broadcast in India is unconfirmed.

The match will kick off at 4:30 AM IST for viewers in India. Corresponding kickoff times listed are Friday, November 13 at 11:00 PM GMT, 07:00 PM ET and 04:00 PM PT, with the game staged at the Estadio Alberto J. Armando in Buenos Aires.

This friendly is scheduled for Saturday, November 14 at the times above and will serve as Argentina’s first competitive outing following Messi’s retirement and part of Uruguay’s ongoing squad rebuild.
