⭐ Team USA Spotlight

The USMNT in 2026

As co-host of the tournament, the United States automatically qualified and was drawn into Group D alongside Paraguay, Australia, and Türkiye. USA's three group-stage matches are not at AT&T Stadium — they're playing in Los Angeles and Seattle.

FRI · JUNE 12 · 9 PM ET
🇺🇸 USA vs. Paraguay 🇵🇾
SoFi Stadium · Inglewood, CA
FRI · JUNE 19 · 3 PM ET
🇺🇸 USA vs. Australia 🇦🇺
Lumen Field · Seattle, WA
THU · JUNE 25 · 10 PM ET
🇹🇷 Türkiye vs. USA 🇺🇸
SoFi Stadium · Inglewood, CA

🇺🇸 If the USMNT advances out of Group D, they could absolutely play at AT&T Stadium in the knockout rounds. If they make the semi-final on July 14, it'd be in Dallas.
