USA World Cup 2026 Form and Qualifying Results
USA's last five completed internationals include L 0-2 vs Portugal, L 2-5 vs Belgium and W 5-1 vs Uruguay. USA have 3 wins, 0 draws and 2 losses across their last 5 completed matches. Form helps, but friendlies, qualifiers and tournament matches are not the same test.
Recent form source: historical international results. Results are used as a form reference and may differ from federation-specific archives.
USA World Cup 2026 Squad, Fixtures and Group
USA play Paraguay, Australia, Türkiye, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Belgium in Group D. They are #16 in the FIFA Men's World Ranking, close enough to be judged against the stronger teams in the field. Mauricio Pochettino leads the bench for this tournament cycle. FIFA history records list 11 previous World Cup appearances, so tournament experience matters here.
By position, there are 10 defenders, 10 midfielders and 3 attackers, so defensive cover is the first area to compare. Key names include Christian Pulisic, Weston McKennie and Brenden Aaronson. That balance will matter in possession, defensive recovery and the moments when chances are scarce.
USA's group schedule reaches Los Angeles, Seattle and San Francisco Bay Area, so venue planning is part of match preparation. USA open against Paraguay on Jun 13, 2026 at Los Angeles Stadium in Los Angeles. The 26-player list is the squad base, with injuries, registration changes and matchday availability still worth checking. The confirmed 26-player roster is active on the field, with matches currently ongoing.

Paraguay
Paraguay are the opening group opponent for USA, with the match set for Jun 13, 2026 at Los Angeles Stadium in Los Angeles. FIFA rank #40 is a useful marker, but the match will still come down to availability, tempo and set-piece control.

Türkiye
Türkiye are the third group opponent for USA, with the match set for Jun 26, 2026 at Los Angeles Stadium in Los Angeles. FIFA rank #22 is a useful marker, but the match will still come down to availability, tempo and set-piece control.
Bosnia and Herzegovina
Bosnia and Herzegovina are the third group opponent for USA, with the match set for Jul 2, 2026 at San Francisco Bay Area Stadium in San Francisco Bay Area. FIFA rank #65 is a useful marker, but the match will still come down to availability, tempo and set-piece control.
Belgium
Belgium are the third group opponent for USA, with the match set for Jul 7, 2026 at Seattle Stadium in Seattle. FIFA rank #9 is a useful marker, but the match will still come down to availability, tempo and set-piece control.
