The United States men’s national soccer team is set to face Belgium in the round of 16 of the FIFA World Cup on Monday, June 6, at 8 p.m. Eastern Time, at Lumen Field in Seattle, Washington.

The match will be televised live in English on Fox and in Spanish on Telemundo, ensuring a broad audience across the country.

The Fox Sports Go app integrates the broadcast feed with on‑demand replays, highlights and additional statistics, catering to a tech‑savvy fan base.
A historic breakthrough
The United States’ recent victory over Bosnia and Herzegovina marked the first knockout‑stage win for the side in 24 years, a milestone that has reignited optimism about the team’s prospects. That breakthrough was achieved in a group‑stage encounter that also saw the squad defeat Australia 2‑0 in Seattle just weeks earlier, underscoring the city’s growing relevance on the international soccer map.
Among the key figures available for the Belgium match is forward Folarin Balogun, the team’s leading goal scorer who was originally suspended after receiving a red card in the round of 32. The FIFA Disciplinary Committee has since lifted that suspension, allowing Balogun to line up for the crucial encounter.
Balogun’s presence adds a potent attacking option for the U.S. side, which will be looking to capitalize on the momentum generated by its recent wins. Coach Mauricio Pochettino, who has taken charge of the national team, is expected to employ a balanced tactical approach that blends defensive solidity with the creativity needed to break down Belgium’s organized defense.
Seattle’s selection as the venue is not merely logistical; the city has already proven its ability to host pivotal matches, having welcomed the U.S. team for a Group D victory over Australia. The familiarity with the local environment, combined with the stadium’s modern amenities, creates a compelling backdrop for what many anticipate will be a memorable showdown.
