5️⃣ spicy fixtures you must watch this weekend 🌶 | OneFootball

Though we’re in an international break with much of the competitive action pre and post-weekend, there’s still some exciting encounters to watch this weekend. Our five best games of the weekend features some WSL derbies and World Cup warm-ups.

Five spicy fixtures you must watch this weekend:

Netherlands vs Norway

Two teams that topped their qualifying groups unbeaten size each other up on Friday night, as the Netherlands welcome Norway to the Johan Cruijff Arena.

The Oranje made light work of qualification and will have their sights set on making an impact in this summer’s tournament.

Norway, who have qualified for the World Cup for the first time since 1998, won all eight games in a flawless campaign, including home and away wins over Italy. The Norwegians are set to leave their trump card on the sidelines for this one, however, with Erling Haaland set to be rested.

Kick-off: 7:45pm, Friday 28th March

Where to watch: Netherlands v Norway will be available to watch live in the UK on Amazon Prime.

Spice Rating: Mild

Arsenal vs Tottenham (WSL)

It’s a huge weekend of derbies in the WSL with Merseyside, Manchester and North London rivalries on show.

Arsenal host Spurs on Saturday evening, as the Gunners look to maintain their push for Champions League qualification.

A 3-1 win over Chelsea in midweek kept the holders on course for the UCL’s last four, but there’s work to be done to ensure the side do not miss out on qualification for next season’s competition. Spurs, much improved this season, will aim to throw a spanner in the works.

Kick-off: 5:30pm, Saturday 28th March

Where to watch: The game will be shown live on Sky Sports.

Spice Rating: Medium

Mexico vs Portugal

Co-hosts Mexico continue their World Cup preparations against Portugal this weekend. Javier Aguirre’s side have found form in 2026 with consecutive friendly wins over Panama, Bolivia and Iceland, but the Portuguese will represent a significant step up. The visitors to the Estadio Azteca will have genuine aspirations to win the World Cup this summer.

Kick-off: 2am (GMT), Sunday 29th March

Where to watch: In the United States, you can watch Friendly live on Fox Sports.

Spice Rating: Hot

England vs Uruguay

England will aim to end a 60-year wait for World Cup glory this summer, but first Thomas Tuchel will fine-tune his squad. The German has opted for a 35-man party for this month’s break, with several fringe faces due to be handed minutes against Uruguay on Friday night.

The Three Lions have a poor historical record against the South Americans with only three wins from 11 past meetings.

Kick-off: 7:45pm, Friday 27th March

Where to watch: The match will be shown on the ITV1 in the UK.

Spice Rating: Fire

Manchester United vs Manchester City (WSL)

There’s a massive Manchester Derby in the Women’s Super League this weekend, as the top two go head-to-head with the title on the line.

Manchester City need a maximum of eight points from their remaining four matches to seal a first WSL title in a decade, while second-placed Manchester United remain faint hopes of overhauling them.

An eight-point gap splits the teams as things stand, with nothing but a win good enough for United at Old Trafford.

The Red Devils will need to overcome a poor recent record in the derby. Marc Skinner’s have won only two of their 12 WSL meetings with City.

Kick-off: 1:30pm, Saturday 28th March

Where to watch: The match is available to watch live in the United Kingdom on BBC Sport, BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
