  • The Pumas of Argentina will face Scotland today in the first round of the Nations Championship 2026.
  • The match will be played at the Mario Alberto Kempes stadium in Córdoba and broadcast on ESPN 2 and Disney+ Premium.
  • Betting odds favor Argentina, with Finn Russell identified as Scotland's key player.

Argentina's Pumas kick off their Nations Championship 2026 campaign today against Scotland in Córdoba. The new tournament pits top teams from the Southern and Northern Hemispheres against each other.

The match, refereed by Georgia's Nika Amashukeli, will be held at the Mario Alberto Kempes stadium. Fans can watch the game live on ESPN 2 and stream it via Disney+ Premium. Head coach Felipe Contepomi aims for a strong start, especially playing at home.

Scotland's star player, fly-half Finn Russell, was notably described as the "Messi of rugby" in the Netflix series "Full Contact." While comparisons aside, his imaginative and creative play has troubled the Pumas before, notably in their 52-29 defeat in November 2022.

Betting markets indicate the Pumas are favored to win, with odds of 1.36 for an Argentine victory compared to 3.20 for Scotland. A draw, a rare outcome in rugby, is priced around 19.00.
