Watch Mexico vs Australia live streams in what is a key encounter for both nations as neither manager has yet to pick their final 26-man squads for the 2026 World Cup. That means the stakes are extremely high for both sets of players at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena.

Fresh off a commanding 2-0 win over Ghana, Mexico will look to wrap up their preparations for the World Cup with another victory. Javier Aguirre’s side have been in superb form in 2026, conceding just once in six games, winning four and drawing on two occasions. While the veteran coach will want to extend this impressive run, he may use the game as an opportunity to look at some players who have yet to cement their place in his final squad.

It’s a similar story for Australia coach Tony Popovic who currently has 29 players training for this match on the West Coast. Only three need to be trimmed, so this really is the last chance for those on the edge to secure a place at the World Cup. The Socceroos did impress in their last outing as they beat Curaçao 5-1, but they’ll expect a much sterner test against the co-hosts.
