USMNT World Cup 2022 schedule

The United States men's national team is set to embark on its World Cup 2022 journey, and will have high hopes of making significant progress in Qatar after missing out on the 2018 tournament. The 2022 event is something of a chance for redemption following the disappointment of four years ago. The USMNT finished fifth in the final group stage of CONCACAF qualifying to lose out. Now, head coach Gregg Berhalter will take his best 26 players to the Middle East with a mandate to seize the moment. Led by Chelsea forward and national team talisman Christian Pulisic, the USMNT will hope to advance past the group stage and put on a show in the knockout rounds, but a draw with European sides England and Wales, plus Asian nation Iran, in Group B presents a significant challenge. The Sporting News brings you all the information regarding when and where the United States will play, and how to watch the action at the 2022 World Cup.

As a Pot 2 team, the United States were afforded a reasonable draw that brings an opportunity to advance to the knockout stage, but also one that could present challenges and pitfalls along the way. England, one of the world's best teams, presents a chance for the United States to prove it belongs amongst the global soccer powers. Beyond that difficult matchup, Wales are a formidable opponent led by a world-class player in Bale. And finally, the draw was kind with Iran as a Pot 3 opponent, but as a nation ranked just outside the world's top 20 teams, they cannot be taken lightly.
