Argentina vs. Venezuela: How to watch, date, time, live stream, and TV channel

Lionel Scaloni's Argentina are set to host Fernando Batista's Venezuela for a CONMEBOL World Cup 2026 qualifier in the early hours of Friday morning, as they continue their quest to retain the crown.

La Seleccion have gone six matches unbeaten ahead of this clash, winning five and drawing once, and they will be expecting another victory in midweek.

In contrast, La Vinotinto have won just twice in the last 14 months, and having lost four of their last six games, they may be low on confidence.

Here, Sports Mole details how to catch all of Friday's World Cup qualifying action.

What is at stake for Argentina and Venezuela?

Argentina have already qualified, and currently sit 10 points clear of second-placed Ecuador at the top of the CONMEBOL World Cup qualifying table.

As a result, La Seleccion may not be at 100 percent, but they will be keen to keep up their excellent form ahead of their battle to retain the trophy in 2026.

Meanwhile, Venezuela are in the intercontinental playoff spot, five points behind sixth-placed Colombia, and La Vinotinto will feel capable of catching them given that their rivals are in shockingly poor form.

The visitors are set to face Colombia in their final qualifier, and should they overtake Los Cafeteros, then they would make their first ever appearance at the World Cup.
