USA Kickoff Watch
USA and Turkey are still waiting for the first whistle in Inglewood.
USA vs Turkey is pre-match at SoFi Stadium on June 25, 2026, with kickoff set for 7:00 p.m. UTC-7. The U.S. enter with six points after wins over Paraguay and Australia, so the immediate job is keeping the group under control before any live score takes over.
The score waits; the pressure is already clear.
The scoreboard has not moved yet, and that is the cleanest way to read the night. USA have already banked the two wins they needed, but Turkey can still turn a comfortable table into a tense evening if the U.S. start loose or let the match settle into scraps.
SoFi should feel different from the Paraguay opener. The first Inglewood night was about launching the tournament. This one is about leaving the group with the same grip, and that asks for a calmer kind of authority.
What needs watching early
The opening spell should show whether the U.S. are playing the table or the opponent. Six points give them room, but the best version of the night is still front-foot football: pressure after turnovers, cleaner possession through midfield, and enough pace wide to stop Turkey from getting comfortable.
There is no confirmed team news or score change to build around yet. Until there is, the useful read is simple: the U.S. have a chance to finish the group without needing a rescue, and Turkey are the last side standing in that path.
USA vs Turkey is still before kickoff at SoFi Stadium.
The U.S. have six points and a group finale to keep under control.
