The World Cup 2026 offers players draped in the stars and stripes a once-in-a-generation opportunity to inspire the American nation.
When the biggest sporting event on the planet was last staged in North America in 1994, the likes of Alexi Lalas and Eric Wynalda became household names. 32 years on, Christian Pulisic and others are hoping to lead by example and boost the co-hosts' chances.
Let GOAL give you the information you need regarding USA World Cup tickets, including where to buy them and how much they cost.
USA World Cup 2026 results and upcoming fixtures
While Christian Pulisic has scored twelve World Cup qualifying goals for the United States, he’s only netted once during a World Cup tournament.
That solitary goal, which came against Iran during the Stars and Stripes' final group game at Qatar 2022, proved crucial, though, as it meant the United States progressed to the knockout stages.

As USA finished top of Group D, these are the following dates, times and venues where and when they will be playing, if they manage to progress to the World Cup Final on July 19.
If USA beat Bosnia and Herzegovina on Wednesday, then they will face either Belgium or Senegal in Seattle during the Round of 16. If Pochettino’s men do line up against Belgium, they'll be keen to avenge the 5-2 loss they suffered at the hands of The Red Devils in Atlanta back in March.

What to expect from Christian Pulisic at World Cup 2026
While Christian Pulisic has had a whole host of memorable moments during his club career, picking up silverware at Borussia Dortmund, Chelsea and AC Milan, he’s still waiting to hit the high notes internationally.
It feels like Christian Pulisic has been churning out high-class performances on the pitch for years and years. He made his USA debut in 2016 at 17 years of age and in so doing became the youngest American to play in a World Cup qualifier.
At the age of 27, Pulisic, the player they call ‘Captain America’, still has plenty to offer the game and his country. USA may have failed to qualify for the 2018 World Cup, but they reached the Round of 16 stage of the tournament for the third time in the space of 12 years in 2022 and they’ll be looking for a long run this time around.
At World Cup 2022, Pulisic, along with three other players, received the third most ‘Man of the Match’ awards in the tournament, with only Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi collecting more. Considering USA bowed out during the first round of the knockouts, it was an impressive achievement for Pulisic, and he’ll be hoping to rise to the occasion on the biggest stage once again.
USA made a huge statement of intent when appointing former Tottenham Hotspur, Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea boss, Mauricio Pochettino, in September 2024 and despite a few setbacks, they’ll be hoping for forward momentum this summer.
