Arsenal and Betis are set to meet on Wednesday, August 5, at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin, giving the preseason schedule a sharper edge for a pair of teams that have started fast. Arsenal arrives unbeaten in its two preseason matches, while Betis also comes in with a perfect record.
The match kicks off at 14:30 EE.UU (Este), 12:30 MEX and 20.30 ESP, which is why readers in three countries are searching now for the same game. In the United States, it was set to air on CBS Sports Network and FOX Deportes and stream on fuboTV and FOX One. In Mexico, the listing pointed to Claro Sports.
Arsenal’s form has been built on results that carry real weight for a summer fixture. It beat MK Dons 3-0 in a closed-door match, then followed with a 4-1 win over Girona at Montilivi on Saturday. Kai Havertz scored one of Arsenal’s goals in that game, and he was joined on the scoresheet by Christos Tzolis, Max Dowman and Gabriel Jesus, while Arnau Martínez scored for Girona.
Betis has matched that momentum. It beat Olympique de Lyon 4-0 in preseason and then took its last presentation by one goal, leaving both teams with enough rhythm to make this friendly more than a routine stop. The timing also explains the attention around Rodrigo Riquelme, though the available match information does not make clear whether he was expected to play or even be available for Betis.
The one gap sits in Spain, where the match still did not have an official television or streaming transmission confirmed even as coverage was set in the United States and Mexico. That leaves a simple reading of the situation: viewers in some markets had a clear place to watch, while Spain was still waiting on a broadcast decision before kickoff. By Wednesday, the only certainty was the match itself, and that is where the story was headed.
