Summary
- The 2026 World Cup game is set for SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.

- Paraguay seeks revenge after a recent 2-1 friendly loss to the USMNT.
The highly anticipated 2026 World Cup will see a compelling encounter between the United States and Paraguay, hosted at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. This match marks a continuation of a storied rivalry that originated in the very first World Cup in 1930, where the U.S. secured a decisive 3-0 victory. Historically, the USMNT has often prevailed in this fixture.
Paraguay arrives with a strong desire for revenge following a recent 2-1 friendly loss to the USMNT in November. Their confidence is bolstered by a solid showing in CONMEBOL qualifying, where they finished level on points with elite teams like Brazil and Colombia. They have also demonstrated their prowess in recent friendlies against Mexico, Greece, and Nicaragua.
Conversely, the USMNT has experienced a mixed recent performance, including defeats against Germany, Belgium, and Portugal. However, an encouraging 3-2 win against the reigning Africa Cup of Nations champions, Senegal, offers a glimmer of hope and demonstrates their potential on the international stage.
