The U.S. men’s national team roster for the 2026 World Cup will be revealed at an event in New York City on May 26, U.S. Soccer announced on Tuesday, March 3.
The federation made the announcement to mark 100 days from the World Cup, which will be hosted by the United States, Mexico and Canada.
‘U.S. Soccer will host a free, open-to-all roster reveal event in New York City on May 26 to celebrate the 26 players selected by U.S. men’s national team head coach Mauricio Pochettino,’ the announcement said.
‘The nationally broadcast event will feature player appearances, surprise guests and live entertainment, turning the roster announcement into a shared national moment.’
The USMNT has been drawn into Group D at the World Cup alongside Australia, Paraguay and a European playoff winner (Turkey, Romania, Slovakia or Kosovo).
Pochettino’s side will play one group-stage game in Seattle and two in Los Angeles, where U.S. Soccer said it will be basing a hub for fan activity during the tournament.
‘U.S. Soccer House’ will open on June 11 in Venice Beach, California, with the federation saying that ‘the immersive space will feature live match viewing, U.S. Soccer legend meet-and-greets, interactive activations, podcast recordings and exclusive fan experiences.’
Prior to the World Cup kicking off, the USMNT has four matches scheduled.
The U.S. will face Belgium on March 28 and Portugal on March 31 in Atlanta, the final two games before Pochettino selects his World Cup roster.
In the lead-up to the World Cup, the USMNT will face Senegal in Charlotte, North Carolina on May 31 and Germany in Chicago on June 6.
