The USMNT has advanced to the Round of 32 in the 2026 FIFA World Cup after winning Group D with a 2-0 victory over Australia at Seattle Stadium on Friday. This marks the third time in history that the Americans have finished atop their group at a men's World Cup. The U.S. previously accomplished this feat in 1930 and 2010. With the win, the U.S. will face the third-place team from either Group B, E, F, I or J in its Round of 32 matchup at San Francisco Bay Area Stadium on July 1. The USMNT's odds to win the World Cup have surged to +3300 after their strong start. Before the tournament began, the U.S. was +5500 to win the World Cup. The 2010 USA team was the last one to win its World Cup group. The USMNT's stage of elimination odds are now available, with the last 32 at +170, last 16 at +200, and outright winner at +3300. The U.S. men's national team currently has 33-1 odds to lift the 2026 FIFA World Cup trophy this summer. In 2022, Team USA made it to the Round of 16, which was viewed as a stellar accomplishment. The USMNT's best result this century occurred in 2002, when the Americans made it all the way to the quarterfinals before being eliminated. The team's upcoming schedule includes potential matches at Seattle Stadium, Los Angeles Stadium, Dallas Stadium, and New York New Jersey stadium.
