Argentina vs. Austria, for the 2026 World Cup: date, time, TV, and how to watch online

Argentina is set to face Austria in a crucial 2026 World Cup Group J clash on Tuesday at the AT&T Stadium in Dallas. Kick-off is scheduled for 2 p.m. Argentine time.

Both teams enter the match with three points after winning their opening games. A victory for either side would significantly boost their chances of advancing to the round of 16. Argentina, the reigning champions, began their title defense with a convincing 3-0 win over Algeria, while Austria defeated Jordan 3-1.

Head coach Lionel Scaloni will have to make at least one change to the starting lineup. Gonzalo Montiel is sidelined with a quadriceps strain, and Nahuel Molina is expected to deputize at right-back. Other players, Leandro Paredes and Nicolás Tagliafico, are also recovering from injuries, with Paredes potentially seeing minutes and Tagliafico being rested unless absolutely necessary.

Austria, despite not possessing the same star power as some European rivals, boasts players from top clubs, including David Alaba, Marcel Sabitzer, and Konrad Laimer. The two nations have a limited historical record, with their last encounter being a 1-1 draw in a friendly before the 1990 World Cup.
