Where to Find the Official USA Soccer Schedule

The most reliable source for USA soccer fixtures is the official US Soccer website at ussoccer.com/schedule. This page covers both the USMNT (men) and USWNT (women), plus youth national teams. Here is how to use it:

1. Go to ussoccer.com and click Schedule in the top navigation bar.
2. Filter by team using the dropdown at the top of the schedule page. Choose Men, Women, Youth, or view all teams at once.
3. Filter by competition to focus on specific tournaments like CONCACAF Nations League, Copa America, or international friendlies.
4. Click any match to see kickoff time in your local timezone, the stadium name, and the broadcast channel.
5. Export to your calendar using the Add to Calendar button on individual match pages. This creates an iCal file compatible with Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, and Outlook.

Schedules are announced in batches around FIFA international windows — specific weeks when club teams must release players for national duty. In 2025, these windows fall in March, June, September, October, and November. Outside those windows, friendly matches may appear on shorter notice, so check ussoccer.com at least once a month to stay current.

How to Watch USA Soccer Games on TV and Streaming

Broadcast rights for USA soccer are split across several networks. Knowing which platform carries which competition prevents a last-minute scramble on game day:

• TNT and Max (HBO Max): The primary home for USMNT games, including CONCACAF Nations League matches and most international friendlies. TNT requires a cable or satellite subscription. Max is the standalone streaming option at $9.99 per month as of 2025.
• FS1 (Fox Sports 1): Carries select USMNT matches and major tournaments. Available through most cable packages and streaming bundles including Sling TV Blue ($40 per month), Hulu + Live TV ($76.99 per month), and YouTube TV ($72.99 per month).
• CBS and Paramount+: The primary home for USWNT matches. CBS is free over-the-air with an antenna. Paramount+ with Showtime runs $11.99 per month; the Essential plan is $5.99 per month, though live sports availability varies by market.
• ESPN+: Occasionally carries lower-profile friendlies. Check the ESPN app schedule for any listed USMNT or USWNT events.

To confirm the broadcaster for any specific game, open the match page on ussoccer.com — the channel is listed directly under the date and kickoff time. YouTube TV at $72.99 per month includes TNT, FS1, and CBS, making it the most complete single subscription for all USA soccer content.

How to Buy Tickets to USA Soccer Matches

Home matches sell out quickly — especially World Cup prep games in 2025. Follow these steps to secure tickets before they disappear:

1. Visit ussoccer.com/tickets to see all upcoming home games with tickets currently on sale.
2. Create a free US Soccer account on the website. Account holders often receive early-access sale windows before general public tickets open.
3. Click Notify Me on any match where tickets are not yet on sale. You will receive an email the moment that game goes on sale.
4. Select your seats on the interactive stadium map. Sections are color-coded by price tier so you can compare options at a glance.
5. Check the secondary market on StubHub or Ticketmaster Fan-to-Fan Resale for sold-out games. Prices typically drop in the 24 to 48 hours before kickoff as sellers lower prices to move unsold seats.

US Soccer books stadiums around the country for home matches. Los Angeles, New York/New Jersey, Atlanta, Dallas, and Columbus host matches frequently. The match detail page on ussoccer.com shows the stadium name, city, and a map link to help with travel planning.

How to Set Up Game Reminders and Notifications

Set up reminders once and you will never miss a kickoff, even when a match is scheduled at an unusual time or during a busy week:

1. Download the US Soccer app (free on iOS and Android). Open Settings inside the app, tap Notifications, and enable match reminders. The app sends an alert one hour before kickoff by default.
2. Add games to Google Calendar: On ussoccer.com, open a specific match page and click Add to Google Calendar. The event is created automatically with the correct kickoff time in your local timezone.
3. Use Apple Calendar: On the same match page, click Add to Calendar to download an .ics file. Open it on your iPhone or Mac and it imports directly into Apple Calendar with all match details included.
4. Follow on social media: Turn on notifications for @USMNT and @USWNT on Twitter/X and Instagram. Both accounts post lineup announcements and pre-match content starting about two hours before kickoff.
5. Set a backup phone alarm 30 minutes before kickoff, especially for games against European opponents that kick off in the early afternoon US time — typically between 2:00 PM and 3:00 PM Eastern for evening matches in Europe.

Understanding the USA Soccer Competition Calendar

USA soccer fixtures follow a structured international calendar governed by FIFA and CONCACAF. Understanding this structure lets you predict when important matches will appear on the schedule:

• FIFA International Windows: FIFA designates specific weeks each year when clubs worldwide must release players for national team duty. In 2025, these windows fall in March, June, September, October, and November. Nearly all USMNT and USWNT competitive matches are scheduled during these periods.
• CONCACAF Nations League: A regional competition featuring the USA, Mexico, Canada, and other North and Central American and Caribbean nations. The 2024-25 group stage wraps up with a final four event in 2025, featuring semifinals and a final in a single-location weekend format.
• World Cup 2026 Preparation: The 2026 FIFA World Cup is hosted by the USA, Canada, and Mexico starting in June 2026. Throughout 2025, the USMNT plays a heavy schedule of high-profile friendlies against European and South American opponents as direct preparation for the tournament.
• SheBelieves Cup: An annual invitational tournament hosted by US Soccer, typically held in February or March, featuring the USWNT alongside three or four top international women's teams. This event sells tickets fast due to its compact multi-game format held over a single week.

The ussoccer.com schedule page shows all competitions in one calendar view. Set the filters to All Teams and All Competitions to see the complete picture across both the men's and women's programs for the full year.

USMNT vs USWNT: Schedules and Channels Side by Side

The Men's and Women's national teams run on separate schedules and are broadcast through different networks. Here is a clear comparison to avoid confusion:

• USMNT (Men's): Competes in CONCACAF Nations League, Copa America, World Cup qualifiers, and international friendlies. Primary broadcaster is TNT and Max. Home games use large NFL and MLS stadiums around the country, typically seating 40,000 to 70,000 fans.
• USWNT (Women's): Competes in CONCACAF W Championship, SheBelieves Cup, and international friendlies, plus Olympic qualifying in Olympic years. Primary broadcaster is CBS and Paramount+. Home games often use smaller soccer-specific stadiums with 20,000 to 30,000 capacity.
• Checking for schedule overlaps: During some FIFA windows both teams play simultaneously in different locations. If you follow both programs, check ussoccer.com with the All Teams filter enabled to spot any date conflicts and plan accordingly.

On ussoccer.com, use the team filter at the top of the schedule page to switch between Men and Women views. The default view shows all teams together, which can be confusing if you only follow one program.

What to Do If a Game Is Blacked Out or Not Available

Occasionally a game you expected to watch is unavailable on your usual platform. Work through these options in order:

1. Check the US Soccer YouTube channel (@ussoccer on YouTube). Some lower-profile friendlies and youth matches stream there for free with no subscription needed.
2. Start a free trial: Max, Paramount+, Fubo TV, and Sling TV all offer seven-day free trials. Time a trial to coincide with a major match window to watch legally at no cost.
3. Log into Max with your cable credentials: If you already receive TNT through a cable or satellite subscription, you can log into the Max streaming app using your cable provider login and watch USMNT games without paying for a separate Max subscription.
4. Find a sports bar nearby: Apps like ScoreMore let you search for bars near you broadcasting a specific match. This is especially practical for weeknight games on TNT when you do not have an active streaming subscription.
5. Listen on ESPN Radio: The ESPN app includes ESPN Radio, which carries audio commentary for many USMNT matches. It is free and works as a reliable backup when video is unavailable.

If a game appears on ussoccer.com with a listed channel but cannot be found on that network on game day, re-check the match detail page — broadcasts sometimes shift to a different network due to scheduling changes made after the original announcement.
