What channel is USA vs. Mexico on today? Time, TV schedule, live stream to watch 2026 World Baseball Classic game

The United States got off to a sluggish start against Great Britain on Saturday but predictably broke the game open and won handily. Mexico might not afford the USA as many breaks.

In what could be the toughest matchup for Team USA in pool play, Mexico is bringing an MLB lineup and plenty of passion and energy to Monday's contest. It took some time for Mexico's offense to get going in its World Baseball Classic opener, but Randy Arozarena, Jonathan Aranda, Alejandro Kirk and Jarren Duran make for an intimidating heart of the order.

The United States is countering with Paul Skenes. The reigning Cy Young Award winner will make his World Baseball Classic debut on Monday, and it's no coincidence he is lined up to face the most powerful offense the U.S. will see in pool play. 

While many will tune in to see Skenes on the world stage, Mexico is hoping to spoil the night for the Pirates ace and a 2-0 American team.
