U.S. national team manager Mauricio Pochettino announced his official 2026 World Cup roster on Tuesday, tapping the 26 Americans tasked with bringing global glory to home supporters across the nation this summer.
Any opportunity to represent one’s country on soccer’s most prestigious stage is rare and deeply coveted; however, to do so on home soil is something even fewer players ever get to experience. Therefore, these 26 men get the dream of a lifetime, as the 2026 edition of the tournament will be co-hosted by the U.S., Mexico and Canada. The USMNT will exclusively play in the U.S. this summer.
