The United States will face Paraguay, Australia and the winner of a UEFA playoff featuring Türkiye, Romania, Slovakia and Kosovo after a relatively favorable group stage draw for the co-hosts of the 2026 World Cup.
That was the result Friday after soccer's biggest competition took a major step closer to reality with a star-studded draw at the Kennedy Center in Washington.
The opening game for the U.S. men's national team in Group D will be against Paraguay on June 12 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.
