The United States Men's National Team enters its final Group D match of the 2026 FIFA World Cup on Thursday night against Turkey with momentum firmly on its side.
After opening the tournament with a 4-1 victory over Paraguay and following it up with a 2-0 win over Australia, the Americans have already secured a place in the Round of 32. Thursday's match against Turkey offers an opportunity to maintain momentum and potentially lock down first place in Group D heading into the knockout stage.
Turkey, meanwhile, enters the match searching for a positive finish to its World Cup campaign. The Turkish side has dropped its first two group-stage matches and has been eliminated from advancement contention, making Thursday's contest a chance to end the tournament on a high note.
A major storyline to watch is the potential return of USMNT captain Christian Pulisic, who has been recovering from a calf injury. Pulisic recently returned to training and has expressed optimism about being available against Turkey.
The match kicks off at 8:00 p.m. Mountain Time (10:00 p.m. ET) on Thursday, June 25, and will be broadcast nationally on FOX and Telemundo.

What’s at Stake?
While the United States has already punched its ticket to the knockout rounds, a strong performance Thursday would keep the squad sharp before elimination play begins. The Americans have looked increasingly comfortable under manager Mauricio Pochettino and will be looking to carry that confidence into the Round of 32. Turkey, despite elimination, remains a talented side capable of testing the U.S. and would love nothing more than to spoil the Americans' perfect group-stage record.
For soccer fans across El Paso County, Thursday night offers another opportunity to cheer on the Stars and Stripes as the road to a World Cup title continues.
