U.S. Men’s National Team head coach Mauricio Pochettino has selected the 26 players that will represent the United States at the FIFA World Cup 2026, which will take place from June 11 to July 19 in the USA, Canada, and Mexico.
The USA will host the Allstate Continental Clásico against African powerhouse Senegal on May 31, at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, N.C. The United States will then host Germany in front of a sold-out crowd on June 6, in Chicago, Ill., in the Coca-Cola Send-Off Match.
The USA will kick off its World Cup campaign in Group D against Paraguay on June 12, in Los Angeles (9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT).
The second group-stage match will take place on June 19, in Seattle against Australia (3 p.m. ET/12 p.m. PT), and the USMNT will finish group play back in Los Angeles on June 25, against Türkiye (10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT).
The Four FCD Products Heading to the World Cup
Weston McKennie is the elder statesman of the group, earning his second consecutive World Cup roster spot after Qatar 2022. Currently with Juventus, McKennie has 64 caps and 12 international goals to his name.
Ricardo Pepi has had one hell of a journey from El Paso to the World Cup. His time with PSV Eindhoven has been a big part of that journey. He now heads into a home World Cup as one of the USMNT's most dangerous attacking options with 13 goals and 35 caps.
Chris Richards has quietly become a legitimate Premier League center-back at Crystal Palace, logging 36 caps for the national team.
Alejandro Zendejas is the most interesting name on the list for the Dallas audience. The El Paso native has 13 caps and two goals since committing to the Stars and Stripes.
