USA vs Belgium live online: score, stats, goals & updates | FIFA World Cup 2026 round of 16
Follow all the World Cup action as it happens as the USMNT face Belgium today, Monday July 6, at Lumen Field in Seattle.
The USMNT are just one victory away from reaching the World Cup quarterfinals for the first time since 2002. Their best finish came in 1930, when they tied for third place, although there was no quarterfinal stage in that tournament. Controversy has followed them into the knockout rounds. Striker Folarin Balogun will be available for the match after his one-game ban, issued following a red card in the Round of 32 win over Bosnia and Herzegovina, was suspended and converted into a one-year probationary period by FIFA.
Belgium, who publicly expressed their “astonishment” at the decision, head into the game on a high after their dramatic comeback win over Senegal in the previous round. The Red Devils reached their best-ever World Cup finish in 2018, placing third, but surprisingly exited in the group stage in Qatar four years later.
