ATLANTA \u2014 The U.S. men\u2019s national team will kick off the next World Cup cycle with four matches over 11 days on home soil, beginning with a friendly at Inter.co Stadium.<\/p>\n

The friendly matches against Peru, Chile, Mexico and Canada are in U.S. cities that didn\u2019t host World Cup action this summer.<\/p>\n

The Americans will face Peru on Sept. 26 at Inter.co Stadium in Orlando for their first match since the World Cup.\u00a0 Three days later, they will host Chile at Energizer Park in St. Louis. The US-Mexico rivalry resumes Oct. 3 at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. And the finale against Canada follows three days later at Allianz Field in St. Paul, Minnesota.<\/p>\n

All four matches will be broadcast on TNT, HBO Max, Telemundo, Universo and Peacock.<\/p>\n

This will be the U.S. men\u2019s team\u2019s eighth match at Inter.co Stadium. The Americans defeated Costa Rica 3-0 in January 2025 in the most recent friendly in Orlando.<\/p>\n

The games come on the heels of the U.S. team\u2019s run to the round of 16 at the World Cup. They also will serve as the first action since U.S. head coach Mauricio Pochettino agreed to a new deal<\/a> that puts him under contract through 2030.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are so excited to start this new phase of our journey with matches in front of our home fans,\u201d Pochettino said in a statement. \u201cTheir amazing energy during the summer has set the standard.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur objective is always to play the best opponents possible, and these matches provide a variety of experiences for this group of players as we begin this new chapter of the U.S Men\u2019s National Team.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 2030 World Cup will be held in Spain, Portugal and Morocco.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ATLANTA \u2014 The U.S. men\u2019s national team will kick off the next World Cup cycle with four matches…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":363170,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[139,141,140,76046,110],"class_list":["post-363169","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-orlando","tag-orlando","tag-orlando-headlines","tag-orlando-news","tag-social-sports","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/363169","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=363169"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/363169\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/363170"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=363169"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=363169"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=363169"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
