The U.S. men's national team will face their highest-stakes 2026 World Cup match so far on Wednesday night.

After an impressive first place group stage finish, the USMNT will play Bosnia-Herzegovina in San Francisco, on Wednesday, July 1 at 8 p.m. ET.

The USMNT finished with impressive 2-1 record in the group stage with wins over Paraguay and Australia before a loss to Turkey, which occurred once the team had already clinched a spot in the next round.
