USA vs. Mexico: How to watch the CONCACAF Gold Cup Final for free


The 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup Final pits the United States against Mexico in a much-anticipated clash.

The match takes place Sunday, July 6, 2025, at Houston’s NRG Stadium, kicking off at 7:00 PM ET (6:00 PM local time). This marks the first Gold Cup final held in Texas, with nearly 60,000 tickets already claimed.

Mexico is aiming for its 10th Gold Cup title – they last lifted the trophy in 2023. The United States has claimed the trophy seven times, most recently in 2021. With both teams set to co-host the 2026 FIFA World Cup, this final serves as a major final test before next summer’s global tournament.

How to watch the CONCACAF Gold Cup Final for free

All CONCACAF Gold Cup matches will also be available to watch live in English on the official CONCACAF YouTube channel, but these streams are geo-restricted and typically not available in North America. Follow the steps below to access the streams:

  1. Pick a VPN with servers in the UK, Germany, or Spain. I recommend NordVPN, as it has a vast server network and reliable performance.
  2. Install the VPN app on your device. It works on phones, computers, and streaming sticks.
  3. Connect to a server in the country of the stream. Choose Mexico for ViX, or watch it on Concacaf’s official YouTube channel, by choosing a country outside the participating countries, like the UK, Germany, or Spain.
  4. Open the streaming site. You might need to register for a free account, but no payment is required.
  5. Enjoy the Final match live.

Free CONCACAF Gold Cup streams

All CONCACAF Gold Cup matches will be streamed live and free in English on the official CONCACAF YouTube channel.

However, the YouTube stream isn’t available everywhere. In some countries, like the US (where FOX holds the rights) and Canada (where OneSoccer has the rights), the matches are geo-blocked due to exclusive broadcast deals.

If you try to watch from one of these restricted regions, you’ll see an error message.

To bypass these geo-restrictions, you can use a VPN. Connect to a server in a country outside the CONCACAF Gold Cup participating region, such as the UK, Germany, or Spain, and then reload the stream.
