The 2026 World Cup is underway, and the US men’s national team is set to face Paraguay on Friday, June 12. The game will be played at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, with kickoff scheduled for 9 p.m. ET.

USMNT Looks to Claim Three Points

The US team is in Group D, along with Turkiye and Australia, and will be looking to claim all three points against a disciplined Paraguayan side led by star winger Miguel Almiron. The team’s ceiling in the tournament will be dictated by Christian Pulisic’s form, while defender Chris Richards is racing to be fit and could provide a key boost if he returns.

Paraguay has a number of talented players, including Almiron, left-footed center-back Omar Alderete, and midfielder Diego Gomez. If Julio Enciso is fit, his ball-striking could be a game-changer.

The game will be available to watch in Spanish on Telemundo, with streaming on Peacock, and in English on Fox.
