The United States takes on Australia in a Group D clash at the 2026 FIFA World Cup on Friday, June 19, at Lumen Field in Seattle. Kickoff is 3:00 p.m. ET (noon local). Both teams are looking for points early in the group stage as the tournament enters its second week.

The US enters on home soil with full crowd backing at Lumen Field, which holds more than 68,000 fans. The Socceroos qualified through the Asian Football Confederation and bring a squad known for pressing and pace. A win for either side would build strong momentum toward the knockout rounds, making this one of the higher-stakes Group D fixtures on the schedule this week.

The US Men’s National Team leaned on a fast, technically capable group throughout qualifying, with several players arriving from top European leagues. Australia’s squad is built around a familiar core that has steadily improved since their strong showing at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, where they reached the quarterfinals.

In the United States, the match airs in English on Fox. Spanish-language broadcast is on Telemundo. To stream, Fox One carries every World Cup match live and on demand for $20 per month, with a seven-day free trial for new subscribers. FuboTV’s base Sports plan includes Fox and FS1 from $46 per month. YouTube TV, Hulu with Live TV, and DirecTV Stream also carry the Fox family of channels. All 104 World Cup matches in Spanish stream exclusively on Peacock, with a Premium plan at $11 per month.

In the UK, coverage is free on BBC One or ITV1, with live streaming on BBC iPlayer and ITVX. Australian viewers can watch on SBS, which holds free-to-air rights for the tournament in Australia.

The 2026 World Cup is the first edition expanded to 48 teams across three host nations. Lumen Field joins a network of US stadiums hosting group stage matches. The US opened with a 4-1 win over Paraguay. The full match schedule and broadcast listings are available at FIFA.com.
