Mexico vs New Zealand live stream: How to watch international soccer friendly 2024 online today

New Zealand's Ben Waine in action against the United States at the 2024 Olympics.

The Mexico vs New Zealand live stream is a chance for both sides to experiment with their XIs, with the first of two matches each for these teams in North America over the next few days — and you can watch this one today from anywhere with a VPN and potentially for FREE

Mexico vs New Zealand live stream, Date, Time, Channels

The Mexico vs New Zealand live stream takes place today (Saturday, Sep. 7).
Time: 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT / 2 a.m. BST (Sun) / 1 p.m. NZST (Sun)
• WATCH FREE — Azteca7, Canal 5 (Mex)

With the action set to take place from the iconic Rose Bowl stadium in Pasadena, California, there have been weather warnings issued around the sheer heat. It's expected to be pushing 100 when these teams hit the field.

Mexico may already be assured of their place at the FIFA World Cup that they'll co-host in 2026, but preparations to make sure that it's a successful homecoming are already underway. Having appointed experienced manager Javier Aguirre (for the third time!) in July, they think they have the manager to make the best fist of that campaign. There's only one uncapped player in his first squad, though, so don't expect him to completely ring the changes.

New Zealand's bid to get to their first World Cup in 16 years starts in October, so this is a crucial warm up for Englishman Darren Bazeley's side. The good news is that he can lean on arguably one of the best All Whites squads ever, with talent from around the globe. His attack is spearheaded by quintessential 'big man up front' Chris Wood — the Nottingham Forest striker has scored more than any other Kiwi in history and will be eager to add to his 34-goal tally today.

It may be billed as a friendly, but this is looking like it should be a very competitive game during this international football window. So read on to find out how to watch Mexico vs New Zealand live streams where you are.

How to watch Mexico vs New Zealand for FREE

There's great news for soccer fans in Mexico wanting to watch this friendly — free coverage will be shown for FREE on both the Canal 5 and Azteca 7 channels. 

If you're a Mexican resident away from home this weekend you can still tune in to the match using a VPN. We explain how below...

How to watch Mexico vs New Zealand from anywhere

If you're overseas and find that your home stream is geo-blocked in the country where you currently are, then you'll need some extra software. You can still watch Mexico vs New Zealand live thanks to a VPN (Virtual Private Network).

The software allows your devices to appear to be back in your home country regardless of where in the world you are. Not sure which is right for you? So ideal for viewers away on vacation or on business. Our favorite is NordVPN. It's the best on the market:

Using a VPN is incredibly simple.

1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, NordVPN is our favorite.

2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance, if you're away from the Mexico. and want to view your usual service, you'd select a Mexico server from the list.

3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to a service that's showing the soccer and watch Mexico vs New Zealand as normal.
