In the run-up to the 2022 World Cup in November, the United States men’s national team will face El Salvador and Grenada in CONCACAF Nations League group stage action. Two group matches will be played in March, when the four group winners will advance to the semifinals, which will be held in June 2023. The dates and locations of all Nations League games have yet to be determined.
The USMNT’s June schedule will also include two friendlies against yet-to-be-determined opponents. These four matches are expected to feature the entire United States team in order to aid in preparations for the World Cup in Qatar.
