With the final round of World Cup qualifying getting underway in CONCACAF, the United States and Mexico are getting it started with a major rivalry clash as the two biggest teams in North America square off in Columbus, Ohio, the site of some of the biggest matches in the long history between the USMNT and El Tri.

Whether we get another “Dos a Cero” match or not, this is a massively important game for both teams as they search for three big early points in their efforts to get out of the Hex and into the World Cup in 2018. Whoever wins not only starts off the Hex with three points, but they’ll also have a massively important lead over their archrivals early in the qualification tournament. That’s a huge incentive for both teams in this game, and will make an already highly charged match all the more intense and important for players and fans alike.

To watch this match online in the U.S., you can stream it on the Fox Soccer 2GO subscription service — or, depending on your provider, you can watch free on Fox Sports Go. You can watch in Spanish for free on Univision Deportes en vivo if you have access through your provider. If you don’t, you can also catch the Spanish broadcast on paid services Fubo and Sling.
