\n

Here are the 26 players comprising the USMNT\u2019s World Cup 2026 roster.<\/em><\/p>\n

Christian Pulisic<\/h2>\n

Age:<\/strong> 27 <\/p>\n

Club: <\/strong>AC Milan<\/p>\n

Height: <\/strong>5-foot-7 \u00bd, Weight:<\/strong> 152 pounds<\/p>\n

Position: <\/strong>Striker, left wing<\/p>\n

Hometown: <\/strong>Hershey, Pa.<\/p>\n

What to know: <\/strong>Pulisic is the face of the national team, but his form is a question mark going into the World Cup. His last goal for Milan came in December; he did snap an 18-month-plus national-team goal drought against Senegal on May 31.<\/p>\n

Ricardo Pepi<\/h2>\n

Age: <\/strong>23<\/p>\n

Club: <\/strong>PSV Eindhoven<\/p>\n

Height: <\/strong>6-foot-1, Weight:<\/strong> 157 pounds<\/p>\n

Position: <\/strong>Striker<\/p>\n

Hometown: <\/strong>San Elizario, Texas<\/p>\n

What to know:<\/strong> Pepi is expected to be used off the bench in this World Cup. He comes in after a red-hot finish to the season, having scored five times in his last six games for PSV.<\/p>\n

Folarin Balogun<\/h2>\n

Age: <\/strong>24<\/p>\n

Club: <\/strong>AS Monaco<\/p>\n

Height:<\/strong> 5-foot-10 \u00bd, Weight: <\/strong>161 pounds<\/p>\n

Position:<\/strong> Striker<\/p>\n

Hometown: <\/strong>London, England<\/p>\n

What to know:<\/strong> Born in Brooklyn, Balogun chose to play for the U.S. over England, where he moved as an infant. He\u2019s the presumed starter at striker for the national team, having emerged to fill a position that was long seen as a question mark.<\/p>\n

Haji Wright<\/h2>\n

Age:<\/strong> 28<\/p>\n

Club:<\/strong> Coventry City<\/p>\n

Height:<\/strong> 6-foot-2, Weight:<\/strong> 176 pounds<\/p>\n

Position: <\/strong>Striker<\/p>\n

Hometown:<\/strong> Los Angeles, Calif.<\/p>\n

What to know: <\/strong>Wright scored the lone U.S. goal in its Round of 16 loss to the Netherlands at the last World Cup. Likely the third striker on the depth chart this year, he helped lead Coventry City to the Premier League with 17 goals in the English Championship.<\/p>\n

Weston McKennie<\/h2>\n

Age:<\/strong> 27<\/p>\n

Club:<\/strong> Juventus<\/p>\n

Height:<\/strong> 6-foot-1, Weight: <\/strong>174 pounds<\/p>\n

Position: <\/strong>Attacking midfield, defensive midfield, fullback, striker<\/p>\n

Hometown:<\/strong> Little Elm, Texas<\/p>\n

What to know:<\/strong> McKennie is most likely to line up at attacking midfield for the national team, but his versatility is a huge asset. He\u2019s played nearly every spot on the field for Juventus this season.<\/p>\n

Malik Tillman<\/h2>\n

Age:<\/strong> 23<\/p>\n

Club:<\/strong> Bayer Leverkusen<\/p>\n

Height: <\/strong>6-foot-1, Weight: <\/strong>170 pounds<\/p>\n

Position: <\/strong>Attacking midfield\/left wing<\/p>\n

Hometown:<\/strong> Nuremberg, Germany<\/p>\n

What to know:<\/strong> Tillman is a heady midfielder with a threatening shot from distance. It\u2019s not entirely clear how he\u2019ll fit at this World Cup.<\/p>\n

Brenden Aaronson<\/h2>\n

Age:<\/strong> 25<\/p>\n

Club:<\/strong> Leeds United<\/p>\n

Height: <\/strong>5-foot-10, Weight: <\/strong>152 pounds<\/p>\n

Position: <\/strong>Attacking midfield, right midfield<\/p>\n

Hometown:<\/strong> Medford, N.J.<\/p>\n

What to know:<\/strong> Aaronson took impressive strides with Leeds this season, playing a key role in the club\u2019s Premier League survival. He should be a consistent presence off the bench for the USMNT.<\/p>\n

Gio Reyna<\/h2>\n

Age: <\/strong>23<\/p>\n

Club:<\/strong> Borussia M\u00f6nchengladbach<\/p>\n

Height:<\/strong> 6-foot, Weight: <\/strong>157 pounds<\/p>\n

Position:<\/strong> Attacking midfield, right wing<\/p>\n

Hometown: <\/strong>Bedford, N.Y.<\/p>\n

What you need to know: <\/strong>The time spent discussing Reyna\u2019s inclusion will far exceed the time he spends on the field at this World Cup. While his being named to the squad despite not having played much at the club level implies that Pochettino does see a role for him, and he\u2019s quite talented, it would be a huge surprise if Reyna started any games.<\/p>\n

Alejandro Zendejas<\/h2>\n

Age:<\/strong> 28<\/p>\n

Club:<\/strong> Club Am\u00e9rica<\/p>\n

Height: <\/strong>5-foot-7, Weight: <\/strong>146 pounds<\/p>\n

Position: <\/strong>Attacking midfield<\/p>\n

Hometown:<\/strong> El Paso, Texas<\/p>\n

What to know:<\/strong> After just one call-up in the past 18 months, Zendejas made the World Cup squad off the back of a two-goal, one-assist performance in his last Liga MX game before the roster announcement, which punctuated a run of great form.<\/p>\n

Tyler Adams<\/h2>\n

Age:<\/strong> 27<\/p>\n

Club: <\/strong>AFC Bournemouth<\/p>\n

Height: <\/strong>5-foot-11, Weight: <\/strong>154 pounds<\/p>\n

Position:<\/strong> Defensive midfield<\/p>\n

Hometown: <\/strong>Wappinger Falls, N.Y.<\/p>\n

What to know:<\/strong> Though a quad injury kept Adams out of a pair of March friendlies, his place \u2014 and importance \u2014 to the national team was never in doubt. Adams captained the side in Qatar, and is a nailed-on starter as long as he\u2019s healthy.<\/p>\n

Cristian Roldan<\/h2>\n

Age:<\/strong> 30<\/p>\n

Club: <\/strong>Seattle Sounders<\/p>\n

Height:<\/strong> 5-foot-8, Weight:<\/strong> 165 pounds<\/p>\n

Position:<\/strong> Defensive midfield<\/p>\n

Hometown: <\/strong>Pico Rivera, Calif.<\/p>\n

What to know:<\/strong> Roldan is a beloved dressing-room presence and respected leader for the national team. Having played in college for the University of Washington and spent his professional career in Seattle, the group-stage game against Australia in that city will be particularly meaningful for Roldan.<\/p>\n

Sebastian Berhalter<\/h2>\n

Age: <\/strong>25<\/p>\n

Club:<\/strong> Vancouver Whitecaps<\/p>\n

Height:<\/strong> 5-foot-9, Weight:<\/strong> 154 pounds<\/p>\n

Position:<\/strong> Defensive midfield<\/p>\n

Hometown:<\/strong> Columbus, Ohio<\/p>\n

What to know:<\/strong> The son of former national team coach Gregg Berhalter didn\u2019t earn his first cap for the national team until Pochettino was in charge. He could be a set-piece specialist off the bench in this World Cup, a luxury of a 26-man roster.<\/p>\n

Antonee Robinson<\/h2>\n

Age: <\/strong>28<\/p>\n

Club:<\/strong> Fulham<\/p>\n

Height:<\/strong> 5-foot-10 \u00bd, Weight:<\/strong> 159 pounds<\/p>\n

Position:<\/strong> Left back, left wing back<\/p>\n

Hometown: <\/strong>Liverpool, England<\/p>\n

What to know:<\/strong> Robinson\u2019s father was raised in White Plains, giving him eligibility to play for the U.S., which he chose over England. An attacking-oriented outside back, Robinson should be a lock to start at the World Cup despite an injury-hampered season with Fulham.<\/p>\n

Sergi\u00f1o Dest<\/h2>\n

Age:<\/strong> 25<\/p>\n

Club: <\/strong>PSV Eindhoven<\/p>\n

Height:<\/strong> 5-foot-8, Weight: 152 pounds<\/p>\n

Position:<\/strong> Right back, right wing back<\/p>\n

Hometown:<\/strong> Almere-Stad, Netherlands<\/p>\n

What to know: <\/strong>Dest was racing to recover from a hamstring injury in time for camp, but he appears to have done so after playing the full 90 in PSV\u2019s last game of the season. If he starts at right back, it\u2019ll clear the way for Tim Weah to play further upfield.<\/p>\n

Alex Freeman<\/h2>\n

Age:<\/strong> 21<\/p>\n

Club:<\/strong> Villarreal<\/p>\n

Height:<\/strong> 6-foot-2, Weight:<\/strong> 180 pounds<\/p>\n

Position:<\/strong> Right back, center back<\/p>\n

Hometown: <\/strong>Baltimore, Md.<\/p>\n

What to know:<\/strong> If the U.S. plays with three at the back, Freeman could be a candidate to start on the right side of the trio. A consistent performer for the national team since first getting capped last June, Freeman has forced his way into the conversation for serious playing time.<\/p>\n

Joe Scally<\/h2>\n

Age: <\/strong>23<\/p>\n

Club: <\/strong>Borussia M\u00f6nchengladbach<\/p>\n

Height: <\/strong>5-foot-10 \u00bd, Weight: <\/strong>165 pounds<\/p>\n

Position:<\/strong> Right back, right midfield, center back<\/p>\n

Hometown:<\/strong> Lake Grove, N.Y.<\/p>\n

What to know:<\/strong> One of the last names on the bubble, Scally \u2014 a New York native and former NYCFC player \u2014 just made it over the line. His versatility is an asset, but it\u2019s difficult to see him getting much playing time.<\/p>\n

Max Arfsten<\/h2>\n

Age:<\/strong> 25<\/p>\n

Club:<\/strong> Columbus Crew<\/p>\n

Height:<\/strong> 6-foot-1, Weight:<\/strong> 172 pounds<\/p>\n

Position:<\/strong> Left back, left wing back<\/p>\n

Hometown:<\/strong> Fresno, Calif.<\/p>\n

What to know: <\/strong>Arfsten has become a mainstay under Pochettino, and has a heavily attacking style. He should see decent playing time, most likely off the bench.<\/p>\n

Tim Weah<\/h2>\n

Age:<\/strong> 26<\/p>\n

Club: <\/strong>Olympique Marseille<\/p>\n

Height: <\/strong>6-foot-1, Weight: <\/strong>148 pounds<\/p>\n

Position:<\/strong> Right wing back, right wing, right back<\/p>\n

Hometown:<\/strong> Rosedale, N.Y.<\/p>\n

What to know:<\/strong> Weah will be expected to start for the U.S., and he tends to aggressively push upfield in attack. Whether Pochettino wants him in a more explicitly attacking role or a traditional right back slot with more defensive responsibility will dictate a lot about the team\u2019s overall shape.<\/p>\n

Chris Richards<\/h2>\n

Age:<\/strong> 26<\/p>\n

Club:<\/strong> Crystal Palace<\/p>\n

Height: <\/strong>6-foot-2, Weight:<\/strong> 179 pounds<\/p>\n

Position:<\/strong> Center back<\/p>\n

Hometown: <\/strong>Birmingham, Ala.<\/p>\n

What to know:<\/strong> With the possible exception of Pulisic, Richards is the USMNT\u2019s most important player. He\u2019s the most reliable center back in a group that is viewed as shaky as a whole. As long as he\u2019s healthy, Richards should never come off the field.<\/p>\n

Tim Ream<\/h2>\n

Age:<\/strong> 38<\/p>\n

Club: <\/strong>Charlotte FC<\/p>\n

Height:<\/strong> 6-foot-1, Weight: <\/strong>161 pounds<\/p>\n

Position:<\/strong> Center back<\/p>\n

Hometown:<\/strong> St. Louis, Mo.<\/p>\n

What to know: <\/strong>Ream is one of the leaders for the USMNT, but questions abound over how much he has left in the tank at 38. His form with Charlotte hasn\u2019t been great, but it\u2019s hard to see how the national team can avoid depending on him.<\/p>\n

Mark McKenzie<\/h2>\n

Age:<\/strong> 27<\/p>\n

Club: <\/strong>Toulouse<\/p>\n

Height: <\/strong>6-foot, Weight: 176 pounds<\/p>\n

Position:<\/strong> Center back<\/p>\n

Hometown: <\/strong>Bear, Del.<\/p>\n

What to know: <\/strong>The Bronx-born McKenzie has a good shot of starting. He put together a strong season for Toulouse and has been a consistent presence for Pochettino\u2019s USMNT.<\/p>\n

Auston Trusty<\/h2>\n

Age: <\/strong>27<\/p>\n

Club: <\/strong>Celtic<\/p>\n

Height:<\/strong> 6-foot-3, Weight: <\/strong>183 pounds<\/p>\n

Position:<\/strong> Center back<\/p>\n

Hometown: <\/strong>Media, Pa.<\/p>\n

What to know:<\/strong> After dealing with a torn plantar fascia at the start of the season, Trusty was a constant in Celtic\u2019s lineup. He\u2019ll be firmly in the mix to start for the national team.<\/p>\n

Miles Robinson<\/h2>\n

Age: <\/strong>29<\/p>\n

Club: <\/strong>FC Cincinnati<\/p>\n

Height:<\/strong> 6-foot-2, Weight:<\/strong> 185 pounds<\/p>\n

Position: <\/strong>Center back<\/p>\n

Hometown: <\/strong>Arlington, Mass.<\/p>\n

What to know:<\/strong> Robinson looks like the last true center back on the depth chart, but he could still have an important role to play. He\u2019s been a regular call-up under Pochettino.<\/p>\n

Matt Freese<\/h2>\n

Age:<\/strong> 27<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Club: <\/strong>NYCFC<\/p>\n

Height: <\/strong>6-foot-4, Weight: <\/strong>190 pounds<\/p>\n

Position:<\/strong> Goalkeeper<\/p>\n

Hometown: <\/strong>Wayne, Pa.<\/p>\n

What to know:<\/strong> Freese has been Pochettino\u2019s No. 1 in goal since last summer, but Matt Turner\u2019s blazing form might make it a competition to start at the World Cup. Still, you have to assume Freese has the inside track.<\/p>\n

Matt Turner<\/h2>\n

Age:<\/strong> 31<\/p>\n

Club:<\/strong> New England Revolution<\/p>\n

Height: <\/strong>6-foot-3, Weight: 174 pounds<\/p>\n

Position:<\/strong> Goalkeeper<\/p>\n

Hometown: <\/strong>Park Ridge, N.J.<\/p>\n

What to know: <\/strong>Turner was the starter at the last World Cup, but seems to have fallen behind Freese. After struggling to find playing time at the club level in Europe, he\u2019s been nothing short of terrific to start this MLS season, opening the door for the World Cup.<\/p>\n

Chris Brady<\/h2>\n

Age: <\/strong>22<\/p>\n

Club: <\/strong>Chicago Fire<\/p>\n

Height: <\/strong>6-foot-3, Weight: 170 pounds<\/p>\n

Position: <\/strong>Goalkeeper<\/p>\n

Hometown: <\/strong>Naperville, Ill.<\/p>\n

What to know: <\/strong>As the third goalkeeper on the depth chart, Brady is unlikely to see the field at the World Cup. He earned the nod over Roman Celentano and Patrick Schulte.<\/p>\n
