ATLANTA – The U.S. men’s national team returns to action with four international matches this fall to kick off its new cycle.

The series of games features back-to-back matchups against South American opposition in Peru and Chile, followed by classic Concacaf confrontations with Mexico and Canada.

The four matches will be the first in the new chapter for USMNT head Mauricio Pochettino, who agreed to a new contract through 2030.

The schedule begins with USA vs. Peru 26 at Inter.co Stadium in Orlando, Fla. on Sept. 26 at 4:30 p.m. ET.

Three days later on Sept. 29, the U.S. will face Chile at 8 p.m. ET from Energizer Park in St. Louis.

The USA-Mexico rivalry will resume on Oct. 3 at 10 p.m. ET in Glendale, Ariz. at State Farm Stadium.

Closing out the window, the USMNT will take on northern neighbor Canada on October 6 at Allianz Field in St. Paul, Minn. on Oct. 6 at 8 p.m. ET.

All four matches can be seen at TNT, truTV, HBO Max, Universo, and Peacock. They also will be carried live on radio as Westwood One Sports delivers English language commentary while longtime partner Fútbol de Primera has the Spanish language call.

“We are so excited to start this new phase of our journey with matches in front of our home fans. Their amazing energy during the summer has set the standard,” Pochettino said in a statement. “We expect our players to compete with the mentality that every game is critical, and they must show the passion and commitment our fans deserve. Our objective is always to play the best opponents possible, and these matches provide a variety of experiences for this group of players as we begin this new chapter of the U.S men’s national team.”

Led by high regarded domestic and international head coach Mano Menezes, Peru narrowly missed out on World Cup qualification. A 2025 debutant and current Vancouver Whitecaps FC player Kenji Cabrera leads a roster with emerging talents.

Chile defeated World Cup debutants DR Congo, 2-1 in a friendly just before the start of the tournament. La Roja is led by FC Midtjylland midfielder Dario Osorio, who scored the opening goal in the team’s latest victory.

Mexico played all of its three group stage and both knockout matches at the Estadio Azteca. After a strong result against Ecuador and losing to England in the Round of 16, Mexico moved up to 10th place in the FIFA rankigns.

Canada reached the Round of 16 before getting knocked out by AFCON title holders, Morocco. Les Rouges handled South Africa in its opening knockout round game after finishing second in Group B.
