What time is Argentina v Scotland kick-off tonight and what TV channel is it on?

Scotland are the first team to visit Argentina since 2019, with Gregor Townsend's side set to take on the Pumas in a three-match series this summer

Argentina will be keen to make a strong start to life under new coach Michael Cheika, and give their home fans something to cheer after such a long wait.

The Scots have won all of their last five games against the hosts, but are without a number of stars for this clash, and won't be able to take anything for granted, particularly after what was ultimately a largely disappointing Six Nations campaign.

Here's everything you need to know about the match:

What time is Argentina v Scotland kick off?

Argentina v Scotland kicks off at 8.10pm BST in San Salvador on Saturday 2nd July 2022.

What TV channel is Argentina v Scotland on? What about live streaming?

Argentina v Scotland will be broadcast live on Sky Sports Action and Main Event, with coverage beginning at 7.30pm. Non-Sky Sports customers can live stream the game with a NOW TV subscription, which starts at £11.99 a month, or you can pay for a day pass.
