India vs Uruguay: TV and streaming details
Viewers in India can watch the game on Sony Sports Network or stream it through the SonyLIV app and website. The scheduled start is 7:00 p.m. IST on Tuesday, October 6, 2026.
India’s fixture follows friendlies against Panama in Bengaluru on September 26 and Brazil in Kolkata on October 3, Yahoo Sports reported. The Uruguay game is the third high-profile friendly listed for India during this FIFA window.
That run gives the match a larger test than a standalone exhibition. India faces a two-time world champion, while playing in front of home support in Kolkata. The available sources do not provide a result or final score for the fixture.
Uruguay team visits Eden Gardens
Uruguay’s squad made a cultural stop at Eden Gardens on Sunday, trying cricket during its stay in Kolkata. The team’s official account shared footage of players picking up bats at the ground.
“We visited Eden Gardens and tried cricket, India's most popular sport,” the team’s post said. It later greeted the city with “Namaste, Kolkata.”
The visit was not tied to a formal match event, Yahoo Sports reported. Eden Gardens is the home ground of the Kolkata Knight Riders in the Indian Premier League, making the stop a chance for the visiting footballers to sample a prominent local sporting venue.
Uruguay head coach Diego Forlan has also played in India, representing Mumbai City FC in 2016, according to Yahoo Sports. The source did not confirm whether any cricketers would attend the match.
Kickoff is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. IST at Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan.
