Venezuela vs Ecuador LIVE this Thursday 16 November at 18:00 (Venezuela) / 17:00 (Ecuador) / 5:00 pm (ET) / 2:00 pm (PT). The fifth match of the South American qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup will take place at the Estadio Monumental de Maturín. Channel guide, schedules, line-ups and more information on the players.
The Vinotinto are undoubtedly one of the surprises of the tournament and currently sit fourth in the standings with seven points from two wins, one draw and one defeat. After opening the qualifying season with an away loss to Colombia, Fernando Batista’s side have gone from strength to strength and seem to have found their best form in recent weeks. Now, the Venezuelans will go in search of another success, but it will not be easy against another team with a three-game unbeaten run, Ecuador.
The Tricolor have taken seven of the last nine points thanks to wins over Uruguay and Bolivia, and a 0-0 draw with Colombia in their last match. The only bad thing for Ecuador is that, despite their good results, they had to give up three points due to the sanction of the Court of Arbitration for Sport after the Byron Castillo case, in which irregularities in his nationality came from him.
