After co-host Mexico kicked off the 2026 World Cup in impressive fashion with a 2–0 victory over a struggling South Africa in Mexico City, the U.S. men's national team begins its tournament campaign in Los Angeles against Paraguay.
A match nearly ten years in the making awaits the USMNT, who believes it has the right coach and squad to make a memorable run on home turf this summer. Mauricio Pochettino's tenure so far has been far from smooth, yet there were at least promising signs in the lead-up to the tournament's opening.
The U.S. defeated Senegal and put up a creditable display in a loss to Germany over the weekend. If Pochettino's side can replicate those two warm-up performances, they will fancy their chances of finishing atop a modest but potentially tightly contested Group D.
It's a group without a clear favorite, and Paraguay is the USMNT's lowest-ranked opponent at 40th in the world. The South Americans are returning to the global stage for the first time since 2010, and will be eager to cause an upset at SoFi Stadium on Friday night.
Here's how you can catch all the action as it unfolds on television across the globe.
