USMNT's 2026 World Cup Squad Leak Sparks Anticipation

Guardian reporters say they’ve leaked the USMNT’s 26-man World Cup squad for 2026, featuring three keepers (Brady, Freese, Turner), ten defenders, four midfielders, six attackers and three forwards, with 13 players set for their first World Cup. Gio Reyna makes the roster despite limited club minutes, while Alejandro Zendejas earned his spot on form. Chris Richards is questionable with an ankle injury, and two training-only players (Kochen and Kirk) will join camp but aren’t on the final roster. Several veterans were left out. Once submitted to FIFA on June 1, only injury replacements are allowed up to 24 hours before the opener, so final confirmation is expected Tuesday.

USMNT World Cup Watch: Pochettino Keeps Door Open in 27-Player Camp Ahead of Friendlies

USMNT coach Mauricio Pochettino says the 27-man roster for the upcoming friendlies against Belgium and Portugal is not the final World Cup squad, with cuts and recalls planned as he continues to evaluate players and shape his system. Injuries to Tyler Adams, Sergiño Dest and Haji Wright complicate decisions, while Gio Reyna remains a bubble option and players like Weston McKennie, Cristian Roldan, Sebastian Berhalter and Christian Pulisic stay central; Noahkai Banks is not in this camp but remains on the radar for future selection.
