Final Countdown, Ticket Frenzy, and World Cup Preparations | Futbol HQ

The countdown is officially on as the World Cup draws closer — and the stakes are already rising. We break down a major injury blow for the U.S. Men’s National Team, the skyrocketing ticket prices surrounding the tournament, and go behind the scenes at Philadelphia Stadium to see how one host venue is preparing for the global spotlight. Plus, concerns over extreme heat, new hotel booking numbers, and the entertainment plans taking over Los Angeles for opening night.

The U.S. Men's National Team roster for the 2026 FIFA World Cup will be officially set on May 26.

That roster has reportedly leaked early.

The Guardian reported the 26-man roster for Team USA. Here's what the reported roster will look like.

U.S. Men's National Team Roster

According to The Guardian, the U.S. Men's National Team is as follows:

Goalkeepers (3): Matt Freese, Chris Brady, Matt Turner

Defenders (10): Max Arfsten, Sergiño Dest, Alex Freeman, Mark McKenzie, Tim Ream, Chris Richards, Antonee Robinson, Miles Robinson, Auston Trusty, Joe Scally

Midfielders (6): Tyler Adams, Sebastian Berhalter, Cristian Roldan, Weston McKennie, Gio Reyna, Malik Tillman

Forwards (7): Brenden Aaronson, Haji Wright, Folarin Balogun, Christian Pulisic, Ricardo Pepi, Tim Weah, Alejandro Zendejas

Big picture view:

Two of the biggest omissions were Diego Luna and Tanner Tessmann. Both were left off the roster. Tessmann has been dealing with a muscle strain injury, which could play into the reason why he was left off the roster.

Zendejas was reportedly selected for the roster, even despite not being with the team since September.
