Team USA at the 2026 World Cup: Schedule, Group D & How to Support the USMNT
Home-soil World Cups don't come around often. The last time the USA hosted was 1994 — and now, in 2026, the U.S. Men's National Team gets to chase glory in front of its own fans. Here's everything you need to know about Team USA at the 2026 World Cup, plus how to show up loud for every match.
Team USA's Group D
The USMNT was drawn into Group D with three very different challenges:
- Paraguay — a gritty South American side (FIFA No. 40)
- Australia — the well-drilled Socceroos (FIFA No. 27)
- Turkey — a dangerous, technical team (FIFA No. 22)
At No. 16 in the world, the USA is the top-ranked team in the group — but nothing is guaranteed at a World Cup.
USMNT Group-Stage Schedule
- Friday, June 12 — USA vs. Paraguay, Los Angeles
- Friday, June 19 — USA vs. Australia, Seattle
- Thursday, June 25 — USA vs. Turkey, Los Angeles

What Comes Next: Knockout Scenarios
For the first time, the World Cup features a Round of 32. If the USA wins Group D, it advances to a Round of 32 match around July 1 in the San Francisco Bay Area. Finish second, and the path points toward a July 3 match in Dallas. Win your group, get a friendlier draw — every point in the group stage matters.
How to Support the USMNT in Style
Be the loudest fan in the room. Start with a statement tee like the USA 2026 Soccer Fan T-Shirt, level up with the USA Oversized Jersey, and wave the USA Football Fan Flag at every goal. Keep your team pride in your pocket with the Team USA iPhone Case.
