The U.S. Men’s National Team is set for a pivotal week as the 2025 Concacaf Gold Cup kicks off, and all eyes are on the squad’s opener against Trinidad and Tobago this Sunday, June, at PayPal Park in San Jose. Head coach Mauricio Pochettino has named a 26-player roster, blending established stars with rising talents, as the team aims to reclaim regional dominance just one year before the World Cup on home soil.
Sunday’s match begins at p.m. ET and marks the start of Group D play for the USMNT. After Trinidad and Tobago, the Americans will face Saudi Arabia on June in Austin, Texas, and wrap up the group stage against Haiti on June 23 in Arlington.

Fans and analysts alike are speculating about Pochettino’s starting XI and tactical approach as the USMNT looks to make a statement in their tournament debut. The countdown to kickoff is on—will the U.S. deliver in their Gold Cup opener?
