The U.S. men's national team has already secured first place in Group D and has its sights set on the knockout rounds of the 2026 World Cup, though manager Mauricio Pochettino's squad still needs to close out the group stage with a match against Türkiye.
It's been an almost flawless World Cup run for the co-hosts so far. They opened with a dominant 4–1 victory over Paraguay, followed by a comfortable 2–0 result against Australia. Now, the team aims to sustain that momentum against a Turkish side that has already been knocked out.
Thursday's fixture also marks the USMNT's return to SoFi Stadium, close to the team's training facility in Irvine, Calif. It's the same venue where the Stars and Stripes launched their tournament campaign, before traveling to Seattle to defeat Australia.
With fitness concerns and yellow card suspensions looming, the USMNT may field a rotated squad against Türkiye, but will be eager to maintain the positive energy in the dressing room ahead of a likely round of 32 showdown with Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Here's how to catch the match on TV.

The USMNT will be focused on making a memorable run through the knockout stages of the World Cup. Their likely first obstacle is Bosnia & Herzegovina — considered the tallest team in the tournament — in the round of 32. The 2002 tournament remains the only occasion the USMNT has reached the quarterfinal stage.
Türkiye, on the other hand, will be among the sides departing from the first-ever 48-team World Cup after back-to-back losses to Paraguay and Australia ended their campaign. Their next competitive fixture is slated for Sept. 25, when they begin their UEFA Nations League A campaign against France.
