The U.S. Men’s National Team returns to Allianz Field on October 6 to face Canada in an international friendly, which will be one of four international matches to kick off U.S. Soccer’s new cycle following their thrilling FIFA World Cup 2026 run.

“When you think about playing in Minnesota, the first thing that comes to mind are the videos we have seen of the amazing atmosphere the fans create, both for Minnesota United and all the times the National Team has played important matches there and been successful,” said USMNT Head Coach Mauricio Pochettino. “For the staff, those scenes looked like they rival some of the best environments we have seen in our careers. I’m sure playing against Canada will bring even more energy to the stadium.”

The game will also be carried live on radio as Westwood One Sports delivers English language commentary while longtime partner Fútbol de Primera has the Spanish language call.
