When is Mexico - New Zealand? Times, how to watch on TV, stream online | International friendly

In their first game since Javier Aguirre took over for a third spell as head coach, Mexico face New Zealand in the first of two friendlies in the United States.

Aguirre was appointed by the Mexican Football Federation last month, after Jaime Lozano left as team boss following El Tri’s disappointing group-stage exit in this summer’s Copa América.

A coach who was previously in charge of the Mexicans from 2001 to 2002 and from 2009 to 2010, Aguirre is to be assisted by national-team legend Rafa Márquez. The 65-year-old is set to remain in charge until immediately after the 2026 World Cup - which Mexico are to co-host - before handing over the reins to Márquez.

After facing the All Whites in Pasadena, California, Mexico come up against Canada in Arlington, Texas, on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, New Zealand are also on American soil for a double-header of friendlies, with today’s clash against Mexico followed by a Tuesday match-up with the United States in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Darren Bazeley’s men head to the US having won the country’s sixth title in the OFC Nations Cup in June, by beating Vanuatu in the final.

What time does Mexico vs New Zealand start?

The international friendly between Mexico and New Zealand will take place at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California, on Saturday September 7, 2024. It’s scheduled to get underway at 9:00 p.m. ET/6:00 p.m. PT.

Mexico vs New Zealand: prediction

New Zealand are on a run of six straight defeats in meetings with Mexico, but we have a feeling the Oceanians might end that barren sequence in Pasadena. Prediction: Mexico 1-1 New Zealand.
