Below, we'll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch the game as it happens, wherever you are in the world, and how to use a VPN if the match isn't available where you are.
Today's match marks the second between these two teams in a month, with La Albiceleste coming out on top 3-0 in September's CONMEBOL World Cup qualifier in Buenos Aires. That match saw Lionel Messi hit a brace -- two goals -- in what is widely expected to be his final match on home turf for Argentina. Having missed Argentina's last two international's, Messi is back on the squad for this game, which takes place at the 38-year-old's club side Inter Miami CF's home stadium.
Unlike their opponents, Venezuela missed out on a place in next year's tournament in North America -- ensuring that they remain the only South American team to never qualify for a World Cup. Given that fact, Venezuela head coach Oswaldo Vizcarrondo expected to name a younger, experimental side for today's game as the team looks to build for the future.
Argentina takes on Venezuela at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Fla. on Friday, Oct. 10. Kickoff is set for 8 p.m. ET or 5 pm. PT local time in the US. That makes it a 1 a.m. BST start in the UK, and an 11 a.m. AEDT on Saturday morning.
