Your Guide to the World Cup Opening Weekend: Match Schedule on Tubi
The full match schedule for opening weekend, plus how to stream every game on Tubi.
Watch NowThe 2026 FIFA World Cup opens across 2 days, and Tubi has live coverage of both. Mexico kicks things off on June 11 against South Africa at 1 PM CT in Mexico City. The next day, the USMNT opens Group D against Paraguay at 6 PM PT in Inglewood. Both matches are free to stream live with a Tubi account, with VOD replays available after the final whistle. It is a big opening weekend, and you do not need a cable subscription to catch any of it.
What's Coming
June 11, Opening Ceremony, Mexico City Stadium
The tournament opens in Mexico City, where a host nation gets to feel the full weight of that first match day at home. Before Mexico and South Africa step onto the field, there is a ceremony, an atmosphere, and the particular electricity that only comes from the very beginning of something this big.
June 11, Fox Pregame, then Mexico vs. South Africa, 1:00 PM CT
Mexico opens Group A against South Africa, with Fox Pregame leading into kickoff. The crowd will be loud and entirely behind Mexico, but that kind of pressure is its own kind of trap. South Africa can make this uncomfortable in a hurry, which is exactly why opening matches are worth watching live instead of checking the score after.
June 12, US Opening Moment, Los Angeles Stadium
The tournament moves to Inglewood on June 12, where the USMNT plays its first home World Cup match since 1994. For fans who have spent decades waiting for this to happen again on American soil, the pre-match atmosphere at Los Angeles Stadium is not just a warmup. It is part of the moment.
June 12, Fox Pregame, then USA vs. Paraguay, 6:00 PM PT
The USMNT opens Group D against Paraguay at Los Angeles Stadium, with Fox Pregame running before kickoff and post-game coverage following the final whistle. The full broadcast block is on Tubi, free with an account.
“Opening weekend starts in Mexico City, moves to Los Angeles, and streams free on Tubi.”
Sneak Peek
Why Watch It
Opening weekend is where the tournament starts to take shape.
This is the first 48-team World Cup, the first co-hosted across 3 countries, and the first time the USMNT has played at home in the tournament since 1994. Mexico carries the weight of opening the whole thing on home soil. The US carries the emotion of a generation of fans who have been waiting for this. Both opponents arrive with something to prove, and neither match is a formality.
Watch live if you can. Both matches are free with a Tubi account. Miss one? The replay goes up the same night, no sign-in required.
