Mexico shocked Germany by defeating the reigning World Cup champions 1-0 in a World Cup 2018 opening round game. But Mexico still needed some help from South Korea, which also beat Germany, to make it to the World Cup 2018 round of 16.

Now Mexico has to face another soccer powerhouse.

Mexico and Brazil are set to play in one of two World Cup games today, July 2 — with the other match being Belgium vs. Japan.

Here are all the details you need to watch the World Cup 2018 on TV, or to live stream Mexico vs. Brazil and other games online — and yes, there are ways to watch or stream the World Cup for free.

What Channel Is the 2018 World Cup Brazil vs. Mexico Game On?

Mexico vs. Brazil is being broadcast in English on Fox, and in Spanish on Telemundo. (In fact, both of the World Cup games today are being broadcast on Fox and Telemundo.) Here's the broadcast schedule for the World Cup 2018 games today and tomorrow.

World Cup Games Monday, July 2
