USA vs Germany: times, how to watch on TV, stream online | international friendly

Gregg Berhalter, the United States men’s national team head coach, selected his 23-player squad a week ahead of the first of two games in FIFA’s October break. Many eyes are already looking well ahead towards the 2026 World Cup - which is being jointly hosted by the US, Mexico and Canada - despite other competitions coming up sooner, but every game is a chance for the players to stake their claim for a place going forward.

The opponent for this first game is Germany, one of the historically strong nations, having won the World Cup on four occasions and the European Championships three times. It’s fair to say that new boss Julian Nagelsmann has his work cut out for him if he is to follow in these illustrious footsteps, although a recent 2-1 friendly win over France gives some cause for optimism.
