Argentina vs. Chile in World Cup qualifier: How to watch Lionel Messi play Thursday
Argentina vs. Chile in World Cup qualifier: How to watch Lionel Messi play Thursday Show Caption Hide Caption lionel-messi-fifa-club-world-cup-michelob-ultra-TV-commercial Soccer superstar Lionel Messi appears in a new Michelob Ultra TV commercia for the FIFA Club World Cup. Lionel Messi is healthy and available to play with Argentina for the first time this year in a World Cup qualifying match on Thursday night. Messi and the World Cup champions will be on the road playing against Chile at Estadio Nacional Julio Martínez Prádanos in Santiago, Chile. It's unclear whether Messi will start or come off the bench, Argentine national team coach Lionel Scaloni said Wednesday. Argentina has already qualified for the 2026 World Cup, and could use this match to play several young players on its roster. Several players are also suspended or won't play to rest after long seasons. Knowing it's one of the few times Messi will wear his Argentina jersey this year, expect to see him in action representing his beloved home country. Chile will host Argentina on Thursday at 9 p.m. ET (10 p.m. in Argentina). The match will be broadcast by TYC Sports Internacional USA on DirecTV, YouTube TV, Sling TV and Fubo. Fanatiz also has a pay-per-view live stream available. Here's a link to watch the match on Fubo. Messi's status as a starter or substitute will be confirmed when Argentina announces its starting lineup for the match. What did Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni say about Messi? "We haven't decided yet whether he'll start the game or not. I need to talk to him, especially because it would be good to know how he's feeling physically. We've talked about a lot of things, but not about this specifically," Scaloni said about Messi Wednesday. "We're in a position where we can try other things, and in principle, he's available to play. We'll see. He had a good game last Saturday, so this guy is ready to play. We'll decide how he is." How fit is Lionel Messi before Argentina match in Chile? Messi, 37, is coming off one of his best stretches in 2025, scoring five goals in his last three matches with Inter Miami in Major League Soccer. He was named MLS Player of the Month after seven goals and four assists in seven matches in May. He scored two goals with three assists in Inter Miami's 5-1 win against Columbus Crew last Saturday. When was the last time Messi played with Argentina? Messi last played with the national team in November: He was scoreless as Argentina lost 2-1 to Paraguay on Nov. 14, 2024, and had the assist to Lautaro Martinez in a 1-0 win over Peru on Nov. 19, 2024. Playing with Argentina before the MLS Cup playoffs last year, Messi was scoreless in a 1-1 draw against Venezuela on Oct. 11, 2024, then exploded with a hat trick and two assists in a 6-0 victory over Bolivia on Oct. 15, 2024. Messi was unable to play with Argentina in March against Uruguay and Brazil, while he was recovering from an adductor strain. Argentina beat Uruguay 1-0 on March 21, and beat Brazil 4-1 on March 25.

2025 French Open: How to watch the women's semifinals, new channels, full schedule and more
If you buy something through a link in this article, we may earn commission. Pricing and availability are subject to change. The second grand slam of the year is ongoing at Roland-Garros this week. The 2025 French Open has reached the semifinals. The defending champions, Carlos Alcaraz and Iga Swiatek have both made it through so far — though notably neither player occupies the top-seeded spot in their respective singles tournaments. Jannik Sinner is the No. 1 seed in the men's tournament, Aryna Sabalenka is the No. 1 seed in the women's. American tennis star Coco Gauff is the No. 2 seed on the women's side. In the U.S., coverage of this year's tournament is airing on TNT and truTV, and every match is streaming live on HBO Max. Are you ready to watch the French Open? Here's how to follow all the action down on the clay courts at Roland-Garros. How to watch the 2025 French Open: Dates: May 25 - June 8 Advertisement Time: Play starts daily at 5 a.m. ET Location: Stade Roland-Garros TV channel: TNT, truTV Streaming: HBO Max When is the 2025 French Open? The 2025 French Open will take place between May 25 and June 8. Singles play begins May 25, with the men's final closing things out on June 8. French Open time difference: Thanks to the time difference between the U.S. and France, the tennis tournament at Roland-Garros will start daily play at 5 a.m. ET/3 a.m. PT. 2025 French Open channel: In a shift from last year, the 2025 Roland-Garros tennis tournament will air across TNT and truTV — with all matches streaming on Max (soon to be officially re-named HBO Max).

If you go ad-free ($29.99/month) you'll save up to 38% off compared to individually paying for all three services — and gain access to all French Open coverage.

You'll get access to three vast libraries, fully stocked with everything MCU, all those Disney princesses (new and old), Hulu's robust catalog of shows on-demand the day after they air, including the latest episodes of Abbott Elementary, Grey's Anatomy and more, and the most recent seasons of The Last of Us, The Pitt and White Lotus. $29.99/month at Disney How to watch the French Open with a VPN: If you want to catch every match of the French Open and don't currently subscribe to HBO Max or a live TV streaming service, in Australia a majority of the action is streaming free with ads on 9Now, and in Austria it's all streaming free with ads on ServusTV. Advertisement Don't live in either of those places? Don't worry, you can still stream like you do with the help of a VPN.

Whether you're looking to watch Friends on Netflix (which left the U.S. version of the streamer back in 2019) or tune in to next F1 race without a cable package, a VPN can help you out.
