USMNT's 2026 World Cup Jerseys Revealed in Stunning Leak

The United States men's national soccer team will showcase uniforms at the 2026 World Cup that honor the previous tournament hosted on American territory in 1994.

Images of the new home jersey that will be worn by Christian Pulisic, Weston McKennie, Folarin Balogun and teammates have surfaced. This represents a departure from the traditional white kit associated with the squad, instead featuring abstract horizontal red and white bands.

Revealed by FootyHeadlines, the flowing stripes created by Nike, who has been producing USMNT kits since 1995, draws direct inspiration from a waving American flag and creates a patriotic atmosphere as the U.S. proudly co-hosts the world's largest sporting spectacle.

Back in 1994, the design featured flowing vertical red and white bands, but the 2026 aesthetic carries similar energy and instantly recalls legends like Alexi Lalas, Cobi Jones, Eric Wynalda and Marcelo Balboa. Horizontal bands also appeared in the 2012 design.

Enhancing the red and white scheme, navy blue accents on the collar and sleeve edges provide additional visual appeal.

2026 USMNT Away Jersey Leaked

The anticipated alternate jersey also takes more understated cues from 1994.

That legendary blue shirt featuring white stars from three decades ago is regarded by many as one of the greatest soccer uniforms ever created globally. The 2026 version, also revealed early by FootyHeadlines, won't appear identical but clearly pays homage.

With an overall minimalist approach, the carbon design will showcase a star motif, while the Nike logo and USA badge complete the elegant uniform in metallic silver.

USMNT Set to Begin World Cup in New Home Kit

The USMNT kicks off the World Cup in their group on June 12, taking on Paraguay at SoFi Stadium. The red and white home jersey will likely be the team's choice that day, and again seven days later versus Australia in Seattle.

The carbon alternate jersey might make its World Cup debut in the third group match. Despite clearly playing on home soil—returning to SoFi Stadium—the USMNT serves as the designated visiting team against the still-to-be-determined UEFA Path C playoff champion. That opponent will be either Slovakia, Kosovo, Türkiye or Romania, with the final two nations' uniforms potentially requiring a kit adjustment for the USMNT.
