Where to Watch Dominican Republic vs Nicaragua
ViX is the confirmed U.S. viewing home for this match. TelevisaUnivision’s sports streaming schedule for September 24 lists Dominican Republic vs Nicaragua at 7:45 PM ET, fifteen minutes before Concacaf’s 8:00 PM ET kickoff, so the listed time appears to be a pre-match coverage start. ViX is confirmed as the streaming home for the full slate of live Concacaf Nations League group stage matches in Spanish. No U.S. linear television channel has been confirmed by the rights-holder schedules for this fixture.
Why This Match Matters
This is a milestone night for Dominican Republic, who reached League A by winning Group D of the 2024-25 Nations League B ahead of Bermuda, Dominica and Antigua and Barbuda. They debuted at the 2025 Gold Cup, losing narrowly to Mexico and Costa Rica while drawing Suriname, and now chase a second Gold Cup berth.
Nicaragua return to League A after missing the 2025 Gold Cup, losing their qualifying playoff to Guadeloupe. Group A also holds Costa Rica, Haiti, Trinidad and Tobago and Curaçao; each side plays four matches, two home and two away, and the top two reach the quarterfinals. Pre-seeded Mexico, the United States, Canada and Panama await in November home-and-away series, with the aggregate winners advancing to the Nations League Finals.
The schedule is demanding: after hosting Nicaragua, Dominican Republic travel to Trinidad and Tobago on September 27, host Haiti on October 1 and visit Nicaragua on October 4. Coach Marcelo Neveleff has acknowledged the challenge of managing workloads across four matches in eleven days.
Recent Form
Dominican Republic are unbeaten in four of their last five, all friendlies: Panama 4-2 Dominican Republic (June 4, 2026), Dominican Republic 1-1 Cuba (March 30, 2026), Dominican Republic 2-2 El Salvador (March 27, 2026), Dominican Republic 0-0 Martinique (November 2025) and Dominican Republic 2-0 St. Vincent and the Grenadines (November 2025). Four of the five were at home, with seven goals scored and seven conceded across that run.
Nicaragua are winless in their three 2026 friendlies: Paraguay 4-0 Nicaragua (June 6, 2026), South Africa 0-0 Nicaragua (May 30, 2026) and Russia 3-1 Nicaragua (March 28, 2026). Their last five read one win, one draw and three losses, with three goals scored and nine conceded. The highlights are a 2-0 World Cup qualifying win over Honduras in November 2025 and the goalless draw in South Africa. The worry is the attack: Nicaragua scored in only two of those five matches.
Team News
Dominican Republic began training in Santiago on Tuesday under Neveleff, with players arriving from Monday; the first session took place at Colegio Iberia and included goalkeeper Xavier Valdez and midfielder Edison Azcona. Azcona, who plays his club football for Las Vegas Lights, has 16 caps and 909 minutes for the national team in 2025, and he came off the bench in the September 2023 Nations League defeat to Nicaragua.
Nicaragua coach Juan Cruz Real named a squad built around twelve foreign-based players, including Jaime Moreno of KuPS in Finland, Monterey Bay’s Jacob Montes and Birmingham Legion’s Kadeem Cole from the United States. Saprissa’s Bancy Hernández misses the first two matches of the window with an injury. The notable absences are Juan Barrera, Josué Quijano and Jason Coronel, with Barrera left out of a call-up for the first time in 17 years, though Cruz Real said the door remains open. Barrera started Nicaragua’s 2-0 win in Santo Domingo in 2023, so his replacement is a key watch point.
Head to Head
The two verified recent meetings came in the 2023-24 Nations League League B. Nicaragua won 2-0 in Santo Domingo on September 8, 2023, and the return finished 0-0 in November 2023. Nicaragua are unbeaten across that pair, and only two goals were scored in 180 minutes, suggesting another tight, low-scoring affair is possible.
