Group D at the 2026 FIFA World Cup is the U.S. host group, with the United States playing all three of its matches on the West Coast at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood and Lumen Field in Seattle. The USMNT is joined by Australia, Paraguay, and Türkiye in a group that opens on Friday, June 12, with the United States hosting Paraguay at SoFi Stadium, then closes with simultaneous matches on Thursday, June 25, when the U.S. faces Türkiye in Inglewood and Paraguay meets Australia in Santa Clara. With the host nation chasing a deep run on home soil and Australia carrying the AFC banner, the group’s storyline is set from the opening whistle.
