The October international break commences this midweek as club soccer takes a backseat to games with the national teams. For example, fans can watch qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup.

Here, we picked the 10 most interesting fixtures to keep you company until Oct. 15.
Top games during October international break
USMNT v Panama (Saturday, Oct. 12, 9 p.m. ET)
Mauricio Pochettino’s tenure will start as the USMNT hosts Panama. This is a rematch of the two’s group-stage meeting from the 2024 Copa America. Panama won after Tim Weah picked up a red card.

This is Panama’s first fixture since its exit from the Copa America at the quarterfinal stage.
You can watch USA vs. Panama on TNT, Telemundo, Universo, Peacock, and Fubo. For new users to Fubo, Fubo is offering a free 7-day trial.
Mexico v USMNT (Tuesday, Oct. 15, 10:30 p.m. ET)
Pochettino will also experience the heated derby against Mexico for the first time as the head coach of the Americans. Both sides crashed out of the group stage in CONMEBOL’s tournament this past summer. The game will be at Estadio Akron, one of the venues for the 2026 World Cup.
