ATLANTA — For the first time, U.S. Soccer will turn its World Cup roster reveal into a live fan celebration from New York City, bringing supporters directly into one of the most anticipated moments.
Fans will be the first to welcome the 26 players selected by head coach Mauricio Pochettino, who will represent the United States at the World Cup when they are introduced live on FOX in a nationally televised event on Tuesday, May 26, from 3-4 p.m. ET. The event is free to attend.
The Rooftop at Pier 17 in New York City’s South Street Seaport will become the epicenter of U.S. Soccer fandom for the day, set against the East River, Brooklyn Bridge and Lower Manhattan skyline.
Fans will experience live music, immersive soccer activations, and partner integrations.
“You can feel the energy building around this team, and fans want to be part of that,” U.S. Soccer Chief Commercial Officer David Wright said in a statement. “This event is about more than just unveiling a roster. It’s about channeling that energy and bringing people together behind the group heading into the World Cup.”
The Seaport neighborhood will turn into a festival environment celebrating American soccer. Fans can explore the open-air design and waterfront views through a connected flow of programming, including food and beverage offerings, live entertainment, and partner activations that bring them closer to the team and the moment. In addition, there will be a Q&A session with Rand Getlin, co-founder of Park Stories and co-director of the HBO Original Sports Documentary Series U.S. AGAINST THE WORLD: FOUR YEARS WITH THE MEN’S NATIONAL SOCCER TEAM, debuting May 12 on HBO and available to stream on HBO Max.
The fan celebration will run from 1-3 p.m. ET and will lead directly into a special live roster reveal show airing on FOX from 3-4 p.m. ET. The broadcast will be hosted by U.S. Soccer legends and FOX Sports broadcasters Alexi Lalas, Stu Holden, Carli Lloyd, Rob Stone, Jenny Taft, Landon Donovan and feature additional celebrity appearances.
