How to watch Argentina vs Benin live on TUDN in USA
US Spanish-language viewers can watch Lionel Messi's farewell on TUDN: broadcast listings name TUDN among the American homes of Argentina vs Benin. Here is how to watch the last match of Messi's Argentina career in the USA.
Quick answer
Watch Argentina vs Benin live in the USA on TUDN on Tuesday 6 October 2026 — kickoff is 7pm ET / 4pm PT. Broadcast listings name TUDN alongside ViX and Prime Video as the American homes of the friendly, with TUDN carrying the Spanish-language broadcast. The other English-friendly routes remain ViX and Prime Video.
The same night is Lionel Messi’s farewell in the Argentina shirt — the first-ever meeting between Argentina and Benin, at a sold-out Estadio Más Monumental in Buenos Aires. Argentina arrive in frightening form after Saturday’s 7-0 rout of Burkina Faso, a game Messi watched from the stands before joining the camp on Friday.
Which TUDN channel will show Argentina vs Benin?
TUDN, TelevisaUnivision’s US sports network, is the Spanish-language home of the friendly in America. Broadcast data lists TUDN and ViX+ as US carriers of Argentina vs Benin on 6 October, with the match’s Spanish commentary on TUDN’s channels.
TUDN sits on most major cable and satellite lineups in the US, and its streaming arm runs through ViX, where the Spanish-language feed can also be found. If your package does not carry TUDN, the ViX app and Prime Video are the named streaming alternatives for this game — confirm the listing inside the app on matchday, since friendlies can move.
How to stream Argentina vs Benin in the USA
Three streaming routes are named for US viewers. ViX streams the Spanish-language feed — open the app or vix.com on 6 October and look for the Argentina listing, not the earlier friendlies. Prime Video carries the match in the US as well. TUDN’s own authenticated app and website stream the network’s live feed for pay-TV subscribers who log in with their provider.
Sign in to whichever app you plan to use well before 7pm ET. A marquee farewell brings heavy traffic, and you do not want to be fighting a login screen when Messi walks out.
What time does Argentina vs Benin start in the USA?
Kickoff is Tuesday 6 October 2026 at 20:00 Buenos Aires time (ART, UTC-3), which is 23:00 UTC. In the USA that is 7:00pm Eastern / 4:00pm Pacific on Tuesday 6 October.
The farewell ceremony at the Monumental starts earlier in the evening Buenos Aires time — the AFA has planned tributes with members of the 2022 World Cup-winning squad — so tune in ahead of the whistle for the full occasion.
Is Argentina vs Benin free to watch on TUDN?
That depends on your setup. TUDN is a pay-TV channel in the US — it comes with most cable and satellite packages, and streaming it live needs a provider login. ViX’s free tier may carry the match, but confirm the listing before kickoff; ViX Premium and Prime Video are the paid certainties.
Stick to the official broadcasts. Pirate streams for a marquee farewell are unreliable at best, and they tend to die exactly when Messi gets the ball.
