Lionel Messi may have wrapped up his season with Inter Miami, but the eight-time Ballon d'Or winner still has a few more games to play in 2023.

The Argentine strolled through his final match of the season with the Major League Soccer side in a friendly with New York City FC earlier this month. Falling to a 2-1 defeat, Messi will now turn his attention to international football.

Unsurprisingly, Messi has been named in Lionel Scaloni's squad for upcoming games against Uruguay and Brazil in 2026 World Cup qualifying - two massive matches for the world champions.

Here is how you can watch the legendary attacker in action over the international break.

  • Kick-off Time: 00:00 GMT / 19:00 ET / 16:00 PT

Having won all four of their World Cup qualifying matches, Argentina's perfect record faces its sternest test to date against Uruguay.

Marcelo Bielsa's visitors to Buenos Aires currently sit second in the table after beating Brazil 2-0 in October and will fancy their chances of causing an upset against Messi and Co. Argentina have won all eight of their matches since being crowned world champions, but conquering Uruguay will not be straightforward.

Argentina have won their last two meetings with Uruguay and haven't lost to their neighbours since a 3-2 defeat in 2013. Messi's former Barcelona teammate and close friend Luis Suarez scored in that victory a decade ago and has won his place back into Bielsa's squad with a sequence of decisive displays for Brazilian side Gremio.

The match is not being broadcast live in the United Kingdom but extended highlights of the contest will be available shortly after the final whistle on CONMEBOL's YouTube account.

Another instalment of the age-old rivalry between Argentina and Brazil, the two South American giants clash again during the November international break.

Brazil find themselves five points off Argentina heading into the match, with a victory for the five-time World Cup winners essential as they look to keep pace with their rivals. Fernando Diniz, fresh from his Copa Libertadores win with Fluminense, will be aiming to get one over Scaloni as they look to climb the CONMEBOL World Cup qualifying table.

Argentina are unbeaten in their last three meetings with Brazil, winning two and drawing one. The most recent match-up was a goalless draw during qualification for the 2022 World Cup, before which was the famous Copa America triumph that handed Messi his first major international trophy.
