The United States men’s national team now knows its first knockout opponent. FIFA has confirmed the USMNT will face Bosnia and Herzegovina in the round of 32 of the 2026 FIFA World Cup on July 1 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
Kickoff is scheduled for 5 p.m. local time, meaning the host nation plays on home soil for its first elimination match in what is already a historic tournament.
How both teams got here
The US finished atop Group D, which earned it the right to host this round of 32 fixture in front of what will almost certainly be a sold-out crowd in the Bay Area.
Bosnia and Herzegovina took a different path. They advanced as one of the best third-place finishers from Group B, with a victory over Qatar doing the heavy lifting to secure their spot in the knockout stage.
