Stars and Stripes at Home
The USA are co-hosts of the 2026 World Cup, competing at home with a young squad built on MLS talent and European-based players. They reached the 2002 quarter-finals and the round of 16 in 2010 and 2014. Playing on home soil in front of enormous crowds changes everything.
At the 2026 World Cup, USA are placed in Group D alongside Australia, Paraguay, Türkiye. The top 2 teams from every group advance to the Round of 32, and the 8 best third-placed teams also go through. Every match matters from minute one.
With 11 World Cup appearances in their history and a best finish of Third place (1930), USA bring experience to a tournament that is larger and more competitive than ever before.
Group D Draw
All 4 teams in USA's group. Top 2 advance automatically, plus the 8 best third-placed teams across all 12 groups.
