Turkey vs USA: TV Channel, Kick-Off Time, and How to Watch World Cup 2026 Clash

The Group D match between Turkey and USA is set for Thursday, June 25, at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. The kick-off is scheduled for 5pm PT, which corresponds to 7pm CT and 8pm ET, or 3am BST on Friday.

How to Watch the Match Live

Fans in the United States can catch the game live on Fox and Telemundo. Viewers in the United Kingdom should tune into ITV1 or use ITVX, while in Scotland the match will be broadcast on STV and available on STV Player.

Current Standings and Team Form

USA, one of the World Cup co-hosts, have started their campaign strongly under Mauricio Pochettino's management. They have secured wins against Paraguay (4-1) and Australia (2-0), positioning themselves at the top of Group D.

Turkey, on the other hand, have struggled early in the tournament. They lost 2-0 to Australia and then 1-0 to a Paraguay side playing with ten men, meaning they are already out of contention for the knockout stage.

Team News: Will Christian Pulisic Play?

The biggest question for USA concerns the availability of star forward Christian Pulisic. He was taken off at halftime in the first game against Paraguay and missed the entire match versus Australia due to a hamstring injury.

"It was impossible for him today to play," said Pochettino about Pulisic’s condition. "We hope that next game he will be available, but if we want to win the competition, we need the whole team. All of the players need to be important but of course Christian is one of the best players in the world and I hope that he can recover as soon as possible and can show it on the pitch and help the team."

Turkey seem to have no major injury concerns going into this fixture.
