USA vs. Bosnia and Herzegovina: Kickoff Time, Live Stream, TV Info for World Cup 2026 Match
The United States faces Bosnia and Herzegovina in the Round of 32 at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, each team eager to make history. The U.S. hopes to overcome a longstanding hurdle, as they've only advanced past the Round of 16 once since 1994. Defeating Bosnia would give them a shot at ending that streak.
Both teams come into this match with strong momentum. The U.S. topped Group D, winning against Paraguay and Australia before resting key players in a close loss to Turkey. Christian Pulisic, sidelined earlier by injury, is back and ready to lead alongside Folarin Balogun and Weston McKennie.
Bosnia and Herzegovina have reached the knockout stage for the first time in their second World Cup appearance. They advanced from Group B with a draw against Canada and a win over Qatar, powered by goals from Ermin Mahmic, Kerim Alajbegovic, and Jovo Lukic, with veterans Edin Dzeko and Esmir Bajraktarevic providing stability.
