How to Watch El Salvador vs Martinique in the USA
ViX is the confirmed U.S. streaming option. TelevisaUnivision’s official September 22 programming release lists “El Salvador vs. Martinica” on ViX with coverage starting at 10:45 PM ET, ahead of the 11:00 PM ET kickoff.
No U.S. linear TV channel has been officially confirmed. FOX Sports is the U.S. English-language home of the Concacaf Nations League through 2029, but it has not publicly confirmed which of its channels will carry this fixture. Several third-party listings name FS2, but those listings could not be verified through an official FOX source, so they should not be treated as confirmed.
No other U.S. streaming service has been officially confirmed for this match.
Competition Stakes
This is the opening match of League A Group B, which also includes Honduras, Jamaica, Guatemala and Suriname. Each team plays four matches, two home and two away, and the top two finishers advance to the November quarterfinals, where Mexico, the United States, Canada and Panama await. The fifth- and sixth-place finishers are relegated to League B, and the competition doubles as qualifying for the 2027 Concacaf Gold Cup.
Team News
El Salvador head coach Hernán Darío “Bolillo” Gómez will be without two players for the opener. Forward Nathan Ordaz, who plays for D.C. United, misses the match because of a personal matter with his club. Gómez confirmed Ordaz will be available for the following three fixtures after this window; no arrival date has been confirmed. Defender Henry Romero suffered a right hamstring contracture in training and could miss the rest of the window. There is better news on Brayan Gil, who has recovered from the ankle injury that troubled him with Baltika in Russia and declared himself ready to face Martinique. Christian Gil, Styven Vásquez and Brayan Gil are the main attacking options available to Gómez.
Martinique head coach Fabien Mercadal has named a 25-player squad for the window, including two notable first-time call-ups: Rennes midfielder Ludovic Blas and Brest defender Kenny Lala, both of whom play in France’s top flight. The group also features QPR midfielder Jonathan Varane, Burgos midfielder Kevin Appin, Cyril Mandouki, Janis Antiste and Brighton Labeau. The delegation traveled to San Salvador to prepare for the opener.
Form
El Salvador have one win in their last five matches: the 1-0 victory over Martinique in March, alongside draws with Qatar and the Dominican Republic and defeats to South Korea and Panama. Their recent home form is a concern, with 1-0 World Cup qualifying defeats to Panama and Guatemala in their last two home outings, both played at the Estadio Cuscatlán in October 2025.
Martinique are winless in their last five, with two draws and three defeats. They have scored just twice in that run, both goals coming in a 2-2 draw with Cuba in March.
The teams have met five times before, and the all-time series is exactly even at two wins apiece and one draw. El Salvador won the first meeting 1-0 at the 2003 Concacaf Gold Cup; Martinique took the next two, 2-1 at the 2023 Gold Cup and 1-0 in the 2023-24 Concacaf Nations League; a 0-0 draw in San Salvador followed in October 2023; and El Salvador won the most recent meeting 1-0 in Santiago de los Caballeros in March 2026, with Mayer Gil scoring in second-half stoppage time.
Prediction
Prediction: El Salvador 1-0 Martinique. La Selecta have home advantage and won the most recent meeting between the sides, but their struggles in front of goal and Martinique’s European-based additions should keep this a tight contest.
