By this time next week, the world will know the official 2026 World Cup squad for the U.S. men’s national team, the 26 men strapped with the responsibility of showing an often-disinterested nation the beauty of their sport and doing so with a deep run on home soil this summer.
U.S. manager Mauricio Pochettino is set to announce the final roster on May 26 in New York City, the team’s first-ever live World Cup roster reveal. That squad will take on Senegal and Germany in friendlies at the end of the month for last-minute tune ups, before traveling west to Los Angeles to open World Cup play in Group D against Paraguay on June 12.
