The March international window is in full force, and the U.S. men’s national team hits the pitch for the first time in 2026 on Saturday, taking on Belgium, the No. 9 team in the FIFA World Rankings, in Atlanta.
Led by manager Mauricio Pochettino, the No. 15 USMNT is looking to build on a strong end to 2025, which saw them secure a five-match unbeaten run, including wins against Japan, Australia, Paraguay and Uruguay, as well as a draw against Ecuador.
The matchup against Belgium also precedes a clash with No. 5-ranked Portugal on Tuesday, with the two matches acting as the final opportunities before Pochettino names the final World Cup squad in May, ahead of June friendlies against Germany and Senegal.
While the clash features two teams hoping to be outside shots at the World Cup title this summer, it also pits Serie A stars against one another with AC Milan’s Christian Pulisic facing teammate Alexis Saelemaekers, while Juventus’ Weston McKennie and Napoli’s Kevin De Bruyne take center stage.
Looking to snap the USMNT’s undefeated run, Belgium enters undefeated itself in the last nine games, dating back to March 20, 2025.
Outside of the competition, it will also mark the first time the USMNT wear the new Stripes kit, the hit look manufactured by Nike for the nation’s first home World Cup since 1994.
Here’s how you can watch USMNT vs. Belgium’s high-profile international friendly.
