USMNT Battles Ecuador: Your Complete Viewing Guide for Tonight's Showdown

The United States men's national soccer team begins its October international window with a friendly match against Ecuador on Friday evening at Q2 Stadium in Austin.

Following a mostly underwhelming inaugural year under manager Mauricio Pochettino, the USMNT aims to continue momentum from a 2–0 victory over Japan, which concluded their September international period after falling to South Korea. 

With merely eight months remaining before the 2026 FIFA World Cup, expectations have intensified for the entire roster, particularly for Christian Pulisic, who has been displaying career-best form with AC Milan in Italy's Serie A.

Here's your guide to watching the USMNT's forthcoming encounter with Ecuador on television and via live streaming.
