What Time Does The USA Play Belgium In The 2026 World Cup?

The 2026 World Cup has entered its second round, and the teams are competing to see who will make it to the quarterfinals.

Today (July 6), the United States Men’s National Team (aka the USMNT) is expected to take on Belgium during the elimination game of the Round of 16 in Seattle. If the USA wins it will be their first time entering the quarterfinals since 2002.

During the July 1 game against Bosnia Herzegovina, the United States Men’s National Team’s star forward, Folarin Balogun, recieved a red card and was ejected from the game. The red card came with an automatic game suspension, and Balogun was expected to miss the Round of 16 elimination game, but FIFA announced they were suspending the suspension.

Now that Balogun is able to play in the match, fans of both Belgium and the U.S. are wondering when and how to catch the upcoming match.
