The United States men's national team is gearing up for a decisive Round of 32 clash at the 2026 World Cup, facing Bosnia and Herzegovina on Wednesday, July 1, at 8 p.m. ET, live on FOX.
After finishing the group stage with a 2‑0‑1 record, the Americans topped Group D with victories over Paraguay and Australia and a narrow loss to Türkiye, they now look to translate that momentum into the knockout rounds.
Key Storylines
Christian Pulisic, the team's talisman, has been cleared to feature after a calf injury that kept him out of the final group match, while midfielders Tyler Adams and Antonee Robinson are also expected to be available.
Coach Mauricio Pochettino, who took charge earlier this year, will rely on a balanced lineup that includes rising star Folarin Balogun and experienced defender Chris Richards, both of whom have seen increased minutes in recent friendlies.
The match will be staged at Levi’s Stadium in San Francisco, California, a venue chosen for its modern facilities and central location within the host nation.
Bosnia and Herzegovina entered the knockout stage as one of the best third‑place finishers, having posted a 1‑1‑1 group record with a win over Qatar and a draw against Canada, and they will be looking to upset the favored U.S. side.
Should the United States prevail, they will meet the winner of the Belgium‑Senegal encounter in the Round of 16 on Monday, July 6, a potential showdown that could set up a clash with traditional powerhouses.
Fans can watch the live broadcast on FOX, while streaming platform Fubo will also carry the game, ensuring broad accessibility across the United States and beyond.
