2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup: How to watch the USMNT vs. Saudi Arabia game tonight

Though the 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup is technically held between the national teams in the North and Central American and Caribbean soccer leagues, this year's tournament has a special guest, Saudi Arabia, who were invited after their home country was selected as host nation for the 2034 World Cup. As a part of the group stage, Saudi Arabia will face the U.S. Men's National Team this Thursday night at a match in Austin, Texas.
