How to Watch Argentina vs. Mexico for Free Online

We highly recommend using Ireland’s RTE 2’s free live stream of Argentina vs. Mexico because you don’t need to sign up to watch, and you’ll have English commentary.

If you want to use the RTE stream, you will need an Irish IP address. It’s incredibly easy to get one with the help of a handy cybersecurity tool called a virtual private network (VPN).

Here’s how you can live stream Argentina vs. Mexico (and other 2022 FIFA World Cup matches) for free from anywhere.

1. Get a Surfshark subscription

Using a VPN, you can change your IP address to one in a different country of your choice. Changing to an IP address in a different country will allow you to bypass geo-blocking restrictions and access content that is only available in that specific country or region.

Following our testing, we pinned Surfshark as our favorite VPN for sports streaming. Here are some reasons why Surfshark is our top recommendation:

  • 3,200+ servers in 100 countries (including all countries with our free Argentina vs. Mexico streams listed above)
  • Rapid connection speeds through Wireguard
  • Reliable servers to unblock ge0-restricted content
  • 30-day money-back guarantee

Surfshark has an incredibly easy-to-use interface, so it’s ideal for someone who has never used a VPN before. To install the app, you can visit the Surfshark website and download the VPN client directly onto your device, or you can find it on any major app store. Surfshark is available on Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, Linux, and even Smart TVs. Once the VPN has been installed and you’ve created your account, all you need to do is log in and connect to a server in Ireland!

This Black Friday, you can get an 85% discount as well as two extra free months for Surfshark, perfect for the FIFA World Cup. If you’re only planning on using the VPN to stream the 2022 FIFA World Cup, try out the 30-day money-back guarantee offered by Surfshark.

2. Choose a free live stream

Once you have your VPN installed, it’s time to get your free live stream up and running. There are plenty to choose from, but we recommend Ireland’s RTE Player.

Make sure to connect your VPN to an Irish server before you head over to the RTE website. If you’re accessing the website without having an Irish IP address, you’ll be met with geo-blocking restrictions.

Want to watch Argentina vs. Mexico using the RTE Player? Follow the steps below:

  1. Connect to a VPN server in Ireland.
  2. Go to the RTE Live Player.
  3. Click on Channel RTE 2 channel during Argentina vs. Mexico match.
  4. Enjoy Messi fighting for his World Cup for free and in English!
  5. Alternatively, you can connect to another VPN server and find the relevant streaming service. For example, connect to a Dutch server to stream the match with NOS. Likewise, to use the SRF ZWEI live stream, you’d need to connect to a server in Switzerland.

Pro tip: Having issues playing the streams? Try opening a new private browser (or incognito) window, or try using a privacy-friendly browser like Mozilla.

Argentina vs. Mexico: What to Expect

Argentina suffered a shocking defeat to Saudi Arabia on Tuesday morning. With Lionel Messi on the team, they were some of the firm favorites going into the 2022 World Cup. Messi scored just ten minutes into the game, but early in the second half, Saudi Arabia fought back with two goals and then held off the Argentinian attack until full time.

As a result, Argentina tumbled to the bottom of Group C, while Saudi Arabia took to the top. It’s not over yet, and they’ve got all to play for in the remaining matches. They’re facing off against Mexico next, who are some of their strongest opposition in Group C.

Mexico played against Poland on Tuesday night, and although the game ended in a 0-0 draw, we saw a spectacular performance by Guillermo Ochoa, who has become somewhat of a World Cup specialist in the goalkeeping position. The Mexican keeper managed to hold off some fierce shots from Polish talisman Robert Lewandowski, and he’s certainly ready to stop some shots from Messi and the rest of the Argentina front line too.

Messi and his Argentinian team are going to have to dig deep after dropping the ball against Saudi Arabia, but Mexico will be putting up a tough fight. Expect some serious fireworks in this match!
