Ecuador vs Bolivia: How to Watch, Team News, and Predictions for Crucial 2026 World Cup Qualifier

The highly anticipated World Cup Qualification match between Ecuador and Bolivia is set to take place on Thursday, November 14, at the Estadio Monumental Banco Pichincha in Guayaquil, Ecuador. The match kicks off at 7:00 PM ET / 4:00 PM PT, and it is a pivotal encounter in the CONMEBOL World Cup Qualifiers.

Ecuador, currently in fifth place with 13 points, is under pressure to secure a win against a resurgent Bolivia, who are making a late surge in the qualifying campaign. Bolivia, with 12 points, has not appeared in a World Cup since 1994 but is now seen as a legitimate contender for a World Cup berth.

In terms of team news, Ecuador will be without midfielder Oscar Zambrano due to a doping suspension, while Keny Arroyo has been left out of the squad. Alan Franco is expected to start after recovering from an injury. For Bolivia, head coach Oscar Villegas has included six uncapped players in his squad, and there are concerns about the availability of Miguelito, who has been injured recently. Carmelo Algaranaz is likely to lead the attack for Bolivia.

For viewers in the United States, the match will be available to watch and stream live through Fanatiz. Those abroad may need to use a VPN, such as NordVPN, to access the stream using their usual services.

The recent form of both teams suggests a closely contested match. Ecuador has struggled with scoring, having gone goalless in their last two games, while Bolivia has shown significant improvement, winning three consecutive matches before a recent loss to Argentina.
