Of course, the USMNT's journey hasn't been without its challenges. The team's 2022 World Cup run ended in the Round of 16 after a tough 3-1 loss to the Netherlands. But now, with home-field advantage and a hungry roster, they're setting their sights on a deeper run in 2026.
Speaking of home-field advantage, the USMNT will play two of their group stage matches at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, with a third game at Lumen Field in Seattle. As part of Group D, the squad kicks off against Paraguay on June 12, faces Australia in Seattle on June 19, and wraps up group play back in LA against Turkey on June 25.
So mark your calendars, grab your gear, and get ready to cheer on the red, white, and blue. This is more than just soccer—it's a story of heart, hustle, and the dream of lifting the World Cup on home soil.
