Where to watch Argentina vs. Zambia live stream, TV channel, start time for international soccer friendly

Defending World Cup champions Argentina will hope for a better performance in their final friendly before the summer arrives as they host Zambia in Buenos Aires on Tuesday evening.

The match will likely serve as Lionel Messi's final game on Argentine soil, as he is expected to retire from international duty after the 2026 World Cup.

Messi played the second half as Argentina defeated 115th-ranked Mauritania by a thin margin, as first-half goals from Enzo Fernandez and Nico Paz secured a 2-1 victory, but a consolation goal for the visitors in the 94th minute ruined the clean sheet for Lionel Scaloni's side.

Zambia, ranked 91st in the world by FIFA's metrics, drew 0-0 with Malawi over the weekend before winning a pre-arranged penalty shootout by a 9-8 score.

The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the weekly schedule.
