Looking to bounce back from a painful loss, the U.S. men's national team will welcome World Cup contender Portugal to Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Tuesday, seeking a morale-boosting result to close out the March international window.
Mauricio Pochettino's squad fell apart in the second half and suffered a 5–2 loss to Belgium on Saturday. There were still some bright spots in the match, particularly during the opening 45 minutes. Now, the USMNT will aim for a more well-rounded display to earn a positive result against yet another top-10 ranked side.
Portugal will also be eager to improve on their 0–0 stalemate against Mexico over the weekend. Roberto Martínez's team controlled the ball for long stretches but, in the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo, struggled to create danger in the attacking third.
The Argentine manager has lofty expectations for the USMNT heading into the 2026 World Cup, but following such a heavy defeat, it's crucial to move forward and put in a strong performance against Portugal in the final match the Stars and Stripes will play before the tournament preparations kick off in under two months.
Here's everything you need to know about how to watch USMNT vs. Portugal in yet another stern test for the World Cup co-hosts.
