If you're looking for how to watch USA vs Paraguay in the World Cup 2026, stay on this page for all the details for where you are. And if you'd also like to see our guide on how to watch every World Cup match from anywhere, you'll find that right here.
It's time for Group D to begin, and the first Group D match is between the US and Paraguay at the Los Angeles Stadium, also known as SoFi Stadium on 12 June. Kick-off here is relatively late, at 9pm Eastern Time. That means UK viewers will be staying up for a 2am kick-off while Australian viewers will be able to have a lie-in before the 11am start.
This is one of the most eagerly anticipated World Cup matches because the two teams are longstanding rivals going back to 1930. Led by Mauricio Pochettino, America bested Paraguay in a 2-1 victory back in November in a very tough match, and you can be sure Paraguay will want to return the favor in this World Cup clash, their first since South Africa 2010.
Each host nation is throwing an opening ceremony before the game, and all ceremonies begin 90 minutes before the scheduled kick-off time. The US ceremony will feature Blackpink, Katy Perry, Future and Tyla.
Here's how to watch USA vs Paraguay in the 2026 World Cup.
