Match preview
United States face Paraguay in the group stage Group D of the FIFA World Cup 2026 on Saturday, June 13, 2026. The match kicks off at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, United States, a venue with a capacity of 70,240.
United States enter as the higher-ranked side (FIFA #11) against Paraguay (#57). The a sizeable ranking gap between the two sides is 46 places. This is a cross-confederation clash: CONCACAF vs CONMEBOL.
United States are coached by Mauricio Pochettino, while Paraguay are led by Gustavo Alfaro. Both managers have shaped distinct identities for their squads in the build-up to North America 2026.
In Group D, only the top two teams advance directly to the round of 32, with the third-placed team competing for one of the eight best third-place spots across all 12 groups. A result here can shape the group quickly because the expanded format leaves less recovery margin than a simple top-two table.
FIFA World Cup 2026 was the first edition with 48 teams, jointly hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico from 11 June to 19 July 2026. A total of 104 matches were played, the highest in tournament history.
