MLS Stars Lead USMNT World Cup Charge
Description
Pochettino’s 26-man USMNT roster for the 2026 World Cup is packed with MLS flavor—eight players from the league made the cut, with another thirteen homegrown talents who rose through MLS academies or now play overseas. That’s 81% of the squad with MLS ties. Hosting the expanded 48-team tournament on home soil, the USMNT aims to rewrite history after their last deep run in 2002. Key matches kick off June 12 in LA vs. Paraguay, June 19 in Seattle vs. Australia, and June 25 back in LA vs. Türkiye. With the tournament co-hosted by the US, Mexico, and Canada, this is more than soccer—it’s a national moment for the sport.
