When does Mexico play? El Tri's schedule and results

Goal takes a look at when the next national team matches take place and what time you should tune in…

It’s a new era for the Mexico national team.

After once again exiting the World Cup at the round-of-16 stage, then slumping to the end of 2018 with interim manager Tuca Ferretti getting only one victory in six tries, the energy is back.

Tata Martino kicked off his stint as Mexico manager with a pair of convincing triumphs over South American opposition.

Now Martino and El Tri are looking forward to the Gold Cup as the manager prepares to set his roster for the continental championship. There’s not much time to gel, with only a pair of friendly matches prior to a group stage that could be trickier than it looks on its face.

Here are Mexico’s upcoming fixtures plus a look back at the team’s performances in 2018 and 2019:
