The U.S. scored early and often as it opened Concacaf Nations League play on Friday. Its 7-0 win over Cuba included four goals in the first 13 minutes, with three of them by Weston McKennie. It certainly won’t be so easy on Tuesday, as the U.S. faces a rising Canada team that beat Cuba in back-to-back matches last month.
Here’s everything you need to know to live stream United States vs. Canada, including what to watch for on the pitch.

United States vs. Canada live stream: How to watch Concacaf Nations League matches
The match is on ESPN2 and TUDN; the following services provide a one-week trial and therefore an easy way to watch Concacaf Nations League matches.

If you’re a soccer fan, however, it will appear tailor-made for you, with NBC and NBCSN, 10 beIN SPORTS channels, FS1, FS2, UniMás, and Champions League actions via TNT all on tap. If you can’t watch a match live, FuboTV offers a three-day replay for each match and 30 hours of cloud DVR. (Check out the complete FuboTV channels list.)
FuboTV also has bilingual families in mind; each subscription comes with UniMás, Galavisión, NBC Universo, beIN SPORTS, Univision, and Fox Deportes. An extra $7.99 per month will bring you Latino Plus, which includes CNN en Español and TyC Sports among its offerings.

(Sling Blue customers in select markets get NBC, where some matches appear; see if yours has it here.) If you’re Team “Why Not Both,” Sling Orange + Blue combines the two for just $40 per month. To add beIN SPORTS and maximize your soccer-watching potential, you’ll want to add either Sports Extra: Sling Orange ($5 per month) or Sports Extra: Sling Blue ($10 per month). (The latter also includes NFL RedZone.)
Spanish-speaking viewers have quite a few options. For bilingual families, you might consider the Español: Best of Spanish TV package for either Sling Orange or Sling Blue for 24/7 specialty channel LaLiga TV and beIN SPORTS Connect: Channels 4-9, which features matches from La Liga, Ligue 1 and Copa del Rey, among others. Both packages cost $5 per month after your free trial. Sling TV Latino is another Spanish-language package for $10 per month, including NBC Universo, History en Español, and—of import to soccer fans—four beIN SPORTS channels. (And choosing Sling TV Latino + Sling Orange for $30 per month gives you access to ESPN Deportes.) For more information, check out our guide to Sling TV channels and our Sling TV review.

United States vs. Canada: What to watch for
The USMNT isn’t playing friendlies, but that doesn’t mean coach Gregg Berhalter won’t tinker with the lineup. Expect veteran and Berhalter first-choice Gyasi Zardes to lead the line for the U.S. instead of Josh Sargent, who got the start on Friday and got on the scoresheet in the romp. Christian Pulisic, who notched a penalty kick goal Friday, could get additional time in on Tuesday.
Zach Steffen, who trained separately from the team while recovering from injury, may also get a runout in goal on Tuesday after longtime U.S. goalkeeper Brad Guzan got the start on Friday. There was one piece of bad news from Friday; defender Miles Robinson injured a hamstring in a post-match workout, and his status for Atlanta United’s opener against New England this coming weekend in the MLS Playoffs is uncertain.
Canada’s rising stock in Concacaf has a lot to do with Alfonso Davies, the young MLS-to-Bayern Munich star who is on the roster as, in a testament to his versatility, a forward. Canada’s also taking some of its true forwards who have put their stamps on recent international matches, Lucas Cavallini and Jonathan David, and MLS fans will recognize Jonathan Osorio (playing in his home stadium), Mark-Anthony Kaye (who has been having a Top XI kind of season with LAFC), and Will Johnson (who’s had a forgettable season in Orlando).
