A huge weekend of international football awaits across Network 10 and Paramount+, with the CommBank Matildas and CommBank Socceroos both in action as they continue preparations for major tournaments on the global stage.
The weekend begins on Saturday night when the CommBank Matildas host Mexico at McDonald Jones Stadium in Newcastle in the opening match of a two-game international series.
Australian fans will be treated to the return of some of the nation’s biggest football stars, with Mary Fowler, Sam Kerr, Steph Catley and Ellie Carpenter all set to ignite in front of a home crowd. Carpenter is also primed to reach a significant milestone, with the Chelsea FC Women defender poised to earn her 100th cap for the CommBank Matildas.
The fixture marks an important step in Australia’s preparations for the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2027™, with Mexico providing a valuable international test as both nations begin building towards the tournament.

Head coach Tony Popovic will use the clash against the world ranked number 19 Swiss team to fine-tune his tactical plans and continue integrating the 26-player squad, which features 17 potential FIFA World Cup debutants. Newly selected squad members Cristian Volpato and Tete Yengi are among those looking to make their mark before Australia opens its World Cup campaign against Türkiye.
Following a narrow 1-0 defeat to Mexico in Pasadena, the Socceroos will be looking to build momentum in their final hit-out before the tournament gets underway.
