Marcelo Bielsa’s squad heads into the tournament with some uncertainty regarding the starting lineup, particularly due to key absences such as Giorgian De Arrascaeta and Ronald Araujo, who will miss the opening matches of the World Cup. However, La Celeste remains hopeful of advancing from a group that includes their upcoming opponent, Cape Verde, and Spain. Uruguay’s debut against Saudi Arabia will take place at 7:00 p.m. Uruguay time. The team will look to make a strong showing at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami to kick off their campaign with three points, dispelling any doubts surrounding the squad ahead of the tournament. Matchday 2 for Bielsa’s squad will be on Sunday, June 21, 2026, against Cape Verde. That match will also kick off at 7:00 p.m. and will mark La Celeste’s second appearance at Miami Stadium. For Matchday 3, Uruguay will travel to Guadalajara, Mexico, to face Spain. That match will take place on Friday, June 26, 2026, at 9:00 p.m. Uruguay time. There will be several options for watching Uruguay’s matches at the 2026 World Cup. Canal 5 officially announced that it will broadcast World Cup matches on free-to-air television, though in this case, it will be 32 of the 104 matches to be played. These will include the opening match, the two semifinals, the final, and all matches featuring the Uruguayan national team in the World Cup. Cable providers that carry the Canal 5 signal will also be able to broadcast the matches, while AntelTV will stream the matches via that same signal. Regarding cable providers, DSports announced that it will broadcast all 104 matches of the tournament via its cable signal and through DGO, its streaming service. In a major development for cable subscribers, several companies have formed a partnership with the network, allowing them to access its channels and thus all the matches, as well as the competitions that, until now, were broadcast exclusively by DSports. Nuevo Siglo, TCC, Montecable, and Flow are the cable providers that already have the new channels and will broadcast all 104 matches, with the distinction that they will do so both on television and via streaming on their respective apps. Paramount+ has also joined the lineup; through its partnership with DSports, it will broadcast all 104 matches. In terms of streaming, in addition to those already mentioned, it is worth noting that Disney+ has joined the lineup in recent weeks and will broadcast the World Cup for South America for the first time. In this case, there will be 30 matches, including 22 from the group stage, two from the round of 32, two from the round of 16, one quarterfinal, the semifinals, and the tournament final. In addition, Uruguay’s matches will be broadcast.
