Argentina vs. Venezuela: Your Complete Guide to Catching All the Action Live

Argentina advance their preparations for defending their world championship when they meet Venezuela in an international friendly match in Miami Gardens this Friday.

La Albiceleste secured their place in the 2026 FIFA World Cup back in March and have been focused on next summer's competition ever since, with Lionel Scaloni's squad regarded as frontrunners to retain their title. No country has claimed consecutive World Cups since Brazil in 1962, but Argentina will be eager to break that streak.

It's all exhibition matches until the tournament begins and they should claim victory in their opening game since qualifying concluded. They defeated Venezuela 3–0 in September and should face no difficulties brushing aside their South American opponents again.

Venezuela did triumph in their previous friendly against Argentina in 2019 but enter Friday as heavy underdogs. Considering their recent performances and poor defensive statistics, they'll be fortunate to finish the match with dignity.

Here's your guide to watching Argentina's encounter with Venezuela in the United States.
