Pochettino called up 28 players for the September and October windows, notably omitting regulars Christian Pulisic and Weston McKennie as he builds toward the 2030 World Cup.
In Peru the game airs free-to-air on América TV (channel 4 / 704 HD) and streams on América tvGO. US viewers can watch in Spanish on Telemundo, Universo and Peacock, or in English on TNT, truTV and HBO Max.
Movistar TV App confirmed it will not carry the match due to rights limitations, though cable subscribers can still watch via América TV's linear signal.
The friendly opens a North American tour for Peru that also includes matches against Mexico, Canada and Colombia during the international windows.
