Mexico faces Portugal in the reopening of Estadio Azteca. Check the date, time and full preview of this 2026 World Cup warm-up match.

This Saturday, Estadio Banorte rolls out the red carpet to welcome the national teams of Mexico and Portugal. The much-anticipated clash between Mexico and Portugal will take place at the revamped Estadio Banorte, a venue gearing up to be a star player in the upcoming 2026 World Cup.

A Cristiano Ronaldo-less Portugal will face Mexico on Saturday in the first game at Estadio Azteca since its renovations for the 2026 World Cup.

Mexico's Javier Aguirre prefers not to dwell on absences and instead focus on players he has available for two warmup matches ahead of the World Cup.

Portugal has traveled to North America for pre-World Cup friendlies without its most iconic player. Cristiano Ronaldo will miss out on Saturday's friendly at Mexico and Tuesday's friendly at the United States due to a muscle injury he suffered at the end of February in a game with Al Nassr.
