USMNT to face Mexico and Canada in friendlies to kick off 2030 World Cup cycle
The US men's national team will begin the road to the 2030 World Cup with four home friendlies against Peru, Chile, Mexico and Canada, held over 11 days between 26 September and 6 October. The fixtures mark the team's first matches since reaching the last 16 at this summer's World Cup and the first since head coach Mauricio Pochettino agreed a new contract keeping him in charge through to 2030.
The USMNT will play Peru in Orlando on 26 September, Chile in St Louis three days later, Mexico in Glendale, Arizona on 3 October, and finish against Canada in St Paul, Minnesota on 6 October. All four games will be shown on TNT, HBO Max, Telemundo, Universo and Peacock, and Pochettino said the matches would offer the squad "a variety of experiences" as they begin the new World Cup cycle, which culminates in the 2030 tournament co-hosted by Spain, Portugal and Morocco.
