Mexico Set to Face Serbia in Final Friendly Before World Cup

Mexico will wrap up its preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup with a friendly match against Serbia on Thursday. This matchup comes just one week before Mexico's opening game against South Africa.

The match is scheduled to kick off at 10 PM EDT and will be broadcast live on FOX Deportes. Fans can also stream the game through Fubo, which offers a free trial option for new subscribers.

Javier Aguirre has put together a seasoned squad for this crucial encounter, marking Mexico's third time hosting the World Cup, having previously done so in 1970 and 1986. Meanwhile, Serbia will take the field without any further matches on their calendar after narrowly missing out on UEFA qualification. Head coach Veljko Paunovic has opted for a youthful lineup, featuring only five players with significant international experience, including four who could make their senior debuts.

The two teams have a minimal history, having only faced each other once previously, when Mexico secured a 2-0 victory during a friendly match in Queretaro back in November 2011. As Mexico seeks to extend its unbeaten streak, Serbia will be aiming to break a three-match losing streak in away games.
