The 2026 World Cup is underway, and the US men’s national team is set to face Paraguay on Friday, June 12. The match will be played at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, with kickoff scheduled for 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT.

USMNT Looks to Claim Three Points

The US team, led by star player Christian Pulisic, will look to claim all three points against a disciplined Paraguayan side. The team’s best center-back, Chris Richards, is racing to be fit, and his return would be a key boost. Matt Freese is expected to start in net, a marquee moment for the 27-year-old NYCFC goalie.

Paraguay is led by Atlanta United star winger Miguel Almiron, who can create a goal out of nothing with his crafty left foot. The team will also rely on left-footed center-back Omar Alderete and midfielder Diego Gomez, who can contribute in the final third.
