How to Watch: USMNT vs. Ecuador

The U.S. Men's National Team opens the October window against Ecuador at Q2 Stadium in Austin, Texas.

Fans can watch the game on TNT and truTV in English and Universo for Spanish on Oct. 10 at 8:30 p.m. ET.

No. 24 Ecuador qualified for the 2026 FIFA World Cup in June as the 13th nation to do so. Friday's matchup provides a challenge for the USMNT one year after head coach Mauricio Pochettino's international coaching debut. 

Pochettino's first match — and win — with the USA in 2024 was, coincidentally, also at the home of Austin FC. The Americans are undefeated at Q2 with all their victories coming in shutouts.
