The United States hosts Belgium as it begins serious preparations for the 2026 World Cup on home soil.
USMNT vs Belgium: How to watch the international friendly match on TV and stream online
With the clock fast ticking down to the start of the World Cup in the USA — the opening game is on June 11 — the USMNT is set to face Belgium this Saturday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, one of the venues selected for the tournament. In this matchup, Mauricio Pochettino will be looking to fine-tune the final details and resolve any lingering questions surrounding his starting lineup.
Matt Freese, Alex Freeman, Chris Richards, Tim Ream, Johnny Cardoso, Weston McKennie, Christian Pulisic, Gio Reyna, Folarin Balogun and Ricardo Pepi headline the U.S. roster. They are expected to be key figures and will likely play an essential role at the World Cup, making this a valuable opportunity for Pochettino. Notably, he did not call up Club América’s Alejandro Zendejas, but did include Reyna, who has raised some doubts.
For Belgium, Kevin De Bruyne leads the squad as the standout figure, while Romelu Lukaku, despite being called up, has been ruled out through injury for these fixtures. Head coach Rudi Garcia is aiming to build consistency ahead of the 2026 World Cup, which is being hosted jointly by Mexico, the United States and Canada for the first time.
