The 2026 World Cup enters its second day, and this Friday, June 12, it’s the turn of the other two hosts. After Mexico kicked things off, now the United States and Canada take the field in front of their home crowds, both for the first matchday of the group stage. The schedule is short—just two games—but packed with debuts and anticipation.
The main event for South American fans comes at night: the United States vs. Paraguay, closing out the day’s action. Marcelo Pochettino’s squad makes its home debut at SoFi Stadium against an Albirroja side returning to the World Cup and looking to make a splash in the opening match of Group D. It’s a clash of styles and pressure: the host carries the burden of needing to start strong at home; Paraguay, with the desire to jump right into the fray in its group. Earlier, Canada kicks off its World Cup campaign against Bosnia and Herzegovina in Toronto, in Group B, in what will be the first official match for both teams. With no history in this tournament, the two teams are vying for a strong first impression and the first points in a group that is expected to be evenly matched.
