How to watch Argentina vs Colombia live: Stream link, TV channel, team news, prediction
Lionel Messi and Argentina have already qualified for the 2026 World Cup and locked in top spot in South America qualifying, but Lionel Scaloni's side are continuing to build chemistry as they host a desperate Colombia side on Tuesday. MORE — Which teams have qualified for the 2026 World Cup? Messi's minutes have been managed and he came off the bench as Argentina won 1-0 at struggling Chile on Thursday. The Inter Miami star is the joint-leading goalscorer in South American World Cup qualifying with six goals and the 37-year-old is still the key player for the reigning World Cup champs. Argentina have largely kept the 2022 World Cup winning squad together as the likes of Julian Alvarez, Alexis Mac Allister, Cristiano Romero and Enzo Fernandez are really stepping up as emerging leaders in this team. But Messi, Emiliano Martinez, Nicolas Otamendi and Lautaro Martinez are all still around and will be huge for Argentina next summer as they look to secure back-to-back World Cup titles. Colombia have slumped in recent months, winning just one of their last seven qualifiers and losing four in that stretch. They drew at home to Peru on Thursday and that means Los Cafeteros are now locked in a scrap for automatic qualification to the 2026 World Cup. With three games to go they're just three points above Venezuela who occupy the inter-confederation playoff spot, and they travel to Venezuela in their final qualifier. Luis Diaz is alongside Messi with six goals in qualifying and he is back for this game after being suspended for the draw against Peru. Colombia need Diaz and the likes of Daniel Munoz, Jhon Duran and James Rodriguez to get them back on track. How to watch Argentina vs Colombia live, stream link and start time Kick off time: 8pm ET, Tuesday (June 10) Venue: Estadio Mas Monumental — Buenos Aires, Argentina Streaming, TV channel: Telemundo Argentina team news, focus Plenty of key players have been given a rest with qualification, and now top spot, secured. But we will probably see Messi start in this game as Scaloni will rotate as the likes of Lautaro Martinez and Angel Correa could start too. OUT: Alexis Mac Allister (muscle) | QUESTIONABLE: Giovani Lo Celso (physical discomfort) Colombia team news, focus Luis Diaz being back is obviously huge and totally changes how Colombia can attack, especially on the counter. Munoz is a key player down the right and he is in fine form, while Colombia have so much experience in defense and must hold firm to keep themselves in this game. OUT: Jhon Cordoba (muscle), Juan Quintero (MCL, knee) Argentina vs Colombia prediction This feels like it will be very close and Colombia surely have to snap out of this poor run of form soon. With Argentina experimenting, expect a draw. Argentina 1-1 Colombia.

It's always a spectacle when Argentina and Brazil meet and this 2026 World Cup qualifier in Buenos Aires on Tuesday will be just as intense as always. MORE — Latest scores, table in South America World Cup qualifying Reigning World Cup champs Argentina need one more point from their final five games of qualifying to book their ticket to the 2026 World Cup. Lionel Scaloni's side beat Uruguay 1-0 on Friday and even with Lionel Messi missing from their squad this international window, Argentina have so many superstars. They are top of the table in CONMEBOL qualifying and would love to celebrate reaching the 2026 World Cup with a win against their bitter rivals Brazil and set off a big party in Buenos Aires. As for Brazil, they've got themselves back on track in qualifying and sit in third place in the table after their huge win against Colombia on Thursday. Vinicius Junior scored a 99th-minute winner in an extremely intense game and Dorival Junior has plenty of big players missing. Still, Brazil's squad is stacked and the trio of Raphinha, Vinicius and Rodrygo are so dangerous when they link up on the counter. Brazil know a win at Argentina would give them a chance of finishing above their bitter rivals with four games to go in qualifying. How to watch Argentina vs Brazil live, stream link and start time Kick off time: 8pm ET Tuesday (March 25) Venue: Mas Monumental Stadium — Buenos Aires, Argentina TV channel and Streaming en Espanol: Telemundo Argentina team news, focus Obviously others have to step up with Messi out and now that Lautaro Martinez is out with a muscle strain too, the pressure is on Julian Alvarez to deliver. The young striker is having a great season at Atletico Madrid and will be fed chances by the likes of Alexis Mac Allister and Enzo Fernandez in midfield. Argentina look so solid defensively and in midfield and even though the likes of Lo Celso and Dybala are missing, they have plenty of creativity in attack. This is a total team unit and Argentina have total belief in what they're doing under Scaloni. Brazil team news, focus Alisson has returned to Liverpool after suffering an injury in the win against Colombia as he came off following a nasty collision with Davinson Sanchez. That means Bento will start in goal and Brazil are already missing Ederson, Neymar, Gabriel Jesus, Gabriel Martinelli, Casemiro, Danilo, Eder Militao, Lucas Paqueta, Richarlison and Antony from this squad. There are plenty of Premier League players in this squad with Joelinton, Joao Pedro, Matheus Cunha, Andre, Murillo and Savinho all available for this game, but key duo Gabriel and Bruno Guimaraes both picked up yellow cards against Colombia and are suspended for this game. Murillo, Cunha and Joelinton could all start in this game as Dorival Junior has plenty of options and will need to rotate his side after a draining win against Colombia. Argentina vs Brazil prediction This is always intense and even with some big players missing for both teams, we can expect fireworks. Brazil have the edge in terms of the attackers they have available and we can expect them to get a huge win. Argentina 1-2 Brazil.
