Overview
- The international friendly is set for Friday at Budapest’s Puskás Arena and U.S. viewers can watch on Fubo, FOX Soccer Plus and ViX, though outlets list slightly different kickoff times in Eastern Time (reported as 1:30 p.m. ET and 1:45 p.m. ET).
- Both Hungary and Finland finished third in their UEFA qualifying groups and missed the 2026 World Cup, so managers are using the game for experimentation rather than selection for a major tournament.
- Hungary coach Marco Rossi named several uncapped players for the squad and Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai is reported to captain the host side for the friendly.
- The Puskás Arena draws added attention because it staged the UEFA Champions League final less than a week earlier, returning now to national‑team duty.
- Reports note Hungary leads the head‑to‑head record against Finland and the match will give fringe and young players a clear chance to win caps and push for spots in upcoming competitions such as the UEFA Nations League.
