The United States Men’s National Team will take on Peru in a friendly match on Saturday, September 26, at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time. While star players such as Christian Pulisic and Folarin Balogun are sitting out, the U.S. Soccer Federation has added 16‑year‑old midfielder Cavan Sullivan to the squad, giving the young talent a chance to debut on the senior team.

How to watch the game

The match will be broadcast nationally on TNT. For viewers who prefer streaming, any Sling TV package provides access to the TNT channel, so you can watch the game on a phone, tablet, computer, or connected TV.

Sling TV offers three short‑term passes for fans who only need the game:

Add‑on packages for sports fans

If you want deeper sports coverage, Sling offers a “Sports Extra” add‑on for $1 (1‑Day), $2 (3‑Day) or $3 (7‑Day) extra. This upgrade adds channels such as MLB Network, NBA TV, NHL Network, ESPNU and ESPNews, giving you a broader view of the sports landscape beyond the USMNT match.

Why the friendly matters

Even though the 2026 World Cup has concluded, the USMNT’s fall schedule is an important part of building momentum for future competitions. The friendly against Peru marks the first of four games slated for the autumn, offering the coaching staff a chance to evaluate emerging talent like Sullivan and to keep the squad sharp.

Coach Gregg Berhalter has emphasized the value of giving younger players experience at the senior level. Sullivan’s inclusion reflects a broader strategy of integrating promising youth prospects into the national team pipeline.

What to expect on the field

Peru will field a competitive side, making the match a genuine test for the United States. While the U.S. will be without several World Cup veterans, the team’s depth and the enthusiasm of its younger players should keep the game entertaining for fans.

Additional streaming details

Sling TV supports streaming on up to one device with the Orange plan and up to three devices with the Blue plan. If you need more simultaneous streams, the combined Orange + Blue package allows up to four devices at once.

For those who prefer traditional cable or satellite, the game will also be available on the standard TNT lineup.
