​Mauricio Pochettino’s United States men’s national team finished in the Round of 16 at the 2026 World Cup, and now the question is how long we can still describe them as Mauricio Pochettino’s USMNT. The tournament provided plenty of lessons, both big and small, and the team’s performance continues to shape how fans and analysts view the program moving forward. Even as that World Cup chapter closes, the schedule keeps turning, with the CONCACAF Nations League draw expected before the end of July.
Here is the latest USMNT schedule, including how to watch and other essential details. In English-language television, games will be carried on HBO Max and TNT, while Spanish-language coverage will be available on Universo and Telemundo Deportes. Streaming in Spanish can be found on Peacock.
Recent friendlies and results include losses to Belgium (5-2 on March 28), Portugal (2-0 on March 31), a tight 3-2 victory over Senegal on May 31, and a 2-1 defeat to Germany on June 6. In the 2026 World Cup, the team defeated Paraguay 4-1 on June 12, beat Australia 2-0 on June 19, then dropped a 3-2 decision to Turkiye on June 25, followed by a 2-0 victory over Bosnia and Herzegovina on July 1, and a 4-1 loss to Belgium on July 6. The World Cup slate also included noted performances and player ratings, with analysis of what was learned from each match.
Looking ahead, the team has several international windows. The September 21 to October 6 window features four friendlies, and the November 9 to 17 window includes the CONCACAF Nations League quarterfinals, which will be played over home-and-away legs against an opponent to be determined.
Earlier in 2025, the calendar included a January camp with friendlies against Venezuela (3-1 win on January 18) and Costa Rica (3-0 win on January 22), accompanied by thoughtful player ratings and takeaways. The CONCACAF Nations League finals followed, with a semifinal loss to Panama (1-0 on March 20) and a 3rd-place finish after a 2-1 defeat to Canada on March 23. In June, the team faced Turkey (2-1 loss) and Switzerland (4-0 loss) in friendly action.
During the 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup, results included a 5-0 win over Trinidad and Tobago on June 15, a 1-0 win over Saudi Arabia on June 19, and a 2-1 win against Haiti on June 22, leading to a dramatic quarterfinal where the U.S. escaped in a penalty shootout after a 2-2 draw against Costa Rica (4-3 on penalties). The semifinal came with a 2-1 victory over Guatemala on July 2, followed by a final loss to Mexico (2-1) on July 6.
For fans wanting to catch all the action, Universo and Peacock Stream provide Spanish-language coverage, while English-language audiences can tune in to HBO Max and TNT for television broadcasts. The schedule also includes matches against South Korea (2-0 defeat on September 6) and other fixtures in the lead-up to major competitions.
In summary, even as Mauricio Pochettino’s USMNT moves beyond the World Cup, the program remains active with a packed slate of friendlies, regional competitions, and ongoing player development. The coming months will reveal how the team evolves under Pochettino’s management and what they can accomplish in the next window of international play.
