Where to watch Germany vs. Finland live stream, TV channel, start time for international friendly match

Germany's World Cup warm-up preparations begin on Sunday with a friendly match against Finland in Mainz.

Julian Nagelsmann's team will head to North America as one of the favourites to win the trophy, even though they sit 10th in FIFA's world rankings and have suffered ignominious group-stage exits at the previous two tournaments.

Finland did not qualify for the 2026 event, as they finished in third place in UEFA Group G, behind Poland and the Netherlands. Their qualification campaign ended in a humbling 1-0 home loss to Malta, and their only victory over Germany came back in 1923, so it would be quite the surprise should they claim a result here.

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