- United States vs. Uruguay will air on TNT and TruTV in the US.
Mauricio Pochettino’s improving USA men’s national team will look to build consistency ahead of next summer’s World Cup, as it hosts Uruguay at Raymond James Stadium on Tuesday, a team that is beginning to impress under head coach Marcelo Bielsa.
Below, we’ll outline the best live TV streaming services to watch the game live, wherever you are in the world, and how to use a VPN if the match isn’t available where you are.
The USMNT comes into this match off the back of a hard-fought 2-1 win over Paraguay in Pennsylvania over the weekend, thanks to a second-half Folarin Balogun strike. That match showed signs that things are coming together for Pochettino’s men after a worrying start to his tenure.
Having booked its place at World Cup 2026 after finishing fourth behind Argentina, Ecuador and Colombia in the CONMEBOL qualifiers, Uruguay is now on a six-game unbeaten run. However, the visitors had to settle for a goalless stalemate against Mexico at the weekend.
These two teams last met at last year’s Copa América, with that encounter ending in a narrow 1-0 win for Uruguay, thanks to a second-half strike by Mathías Olivera.
The USA takes on Uruguay at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida, on Tuesday, Nov. 18. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. ET or 4 p.m. PT. That makes it a 12 a.m. GMT start in the UK, and a 11 a.m. AEDT start on Wednesday morning in Australia.
Giovanni Reyna marked his his return to the USA’s starting lineup by providing the opening goal in his team’s 2-1 win over Paraguay on Saturday.

How to watch the USA vs. Uruguay match online from anywhere using a VPN
If you’re traveling abroad and want to keep up with all the World Cup qualifier action while away from home, a VPN can help enhance your privacy and security when streaming.
A VPN encrypts your traffic and prevents your internet service provider from throttling your speeds. Additionally, it can be helpful when connecting to public Wi-Fi networks while traveling, providing an extra layer of protection for your devices and logins. VPNs are legal in many countries, including the US and Canada, and can be used for legitimate purposes such as improving online privacy and security.
However, some streaming services may have policies restricting VPN usage to access region-specific content. If you’re considering a VPN for streaming, check the platform’s terms of service to ensure compliance.
If you choose to use a VPN, follow the provider’s installation instructions, ensuring you’re connected securely and in compliance with applicable laws and service agreements. Some streaming platforms may block access when a VPN is detected, so verifying if your streaming subscription allows VPN usage is crucial.

Can I livestream the USA vs. Uruguay match in the UK?
No broadcaster in the UK has the rights to broadcast this international friendly in the region.
That also means that if you’re in the UK traveling for pleasure or for work, you’re unlikely to be able to watch the game like you normally would at home, thanks to geoblocking.
There’s one option to get around this. By using a VPN, as explained above, you can set your location to a country where the match is being broadcast and go from there.
Can I livestream the USA vs. Uruguay match in Australia?
As with the UK, no broadcaster Down Under is set to show today’s game live. If you’re currently in Australia and want to watch a streaming service from back at home that is showing a livestream, you’ll need a reliable VPN like ExpressVPN.
Can I livestream the USA vs. Uruguay match in Canada?
It’s the same story in Canada, with no confirmed broadcaster for this match in the region.
Quick tips for streaming international soccer using a VPN
- With four variables at play — your ISP, browser, video streaming provider and VPN — your experience and success when streaming soccer may vary.
- If you don’t see your desired location as a default option for ExpressVPN, try using the “search for city or country” option.
- If you’re having trouble accessing the game after turning on your VPN and setting it to the correct viewing area, there are two quick fixes you can try. First, log in to your streaming service subscription account and ensure the address registered for the account is within the correct viewing area. If not, you may need to change the physical address on file with your account. Second, some smart TVs — like Roku — don’t have VPN apps you can install directly on the device itself. Instead, you’ll need to install the VPN on your router or the mobile hotspot you’re using (such as your phone) so that any device connected to its Wi-Fi network now appears in the correct viewing location.
- All of the VPN providers we recommend have helpful instructions on their main site for quickly installing the VPN on your router. In some cases with smart TV services, after installing a cable network’s sports app, you’ll be asked to verify a numeric code or click a link sent to the email address on file for your smart TV. This is where having a VPN on your router can also be helpful, as both devices will appear to be in the correct location.
- And remember, browsers can often give away a location despite using a VPN, so be sure you’re using a privacy-first browser to log into your services. We normally recommend Brave.
