About Mexico vs South Africa
Mexico, one of the three host nations, take on South Africa, an African side, in Group A of the 2026 World Cup. As an opening-round Group A fixture, it is the first chance for both teams to put points on the board. The group also features Czechia and South Korea, so every result swings the table.
Mexico vs South Africa is the opening match of the entire 2026 World Cup, played at the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City, which makes it the first game on the calendar to catch with us.
The 2026 World Cup is the first to feature 48 teams, played across the United States, Canada, and Mexico from June 11 to July 19, with Seattle as one of the 16 host cities just across the water from Kirkland. See every match we are showing on our World Cup at Sparrow page.
