USA vs Senegal: Where to watch, TV channel, live stream & kick-off time

Today’s game between USA and Senegal will kick-off at May 31, 2026, 3:30 PM.

USA vs Senegal is available to watch live in the United States across several platforms. English-language coverage is on Peacock, while Spanish-language viewers can tune in via Telemundo, UNIVERSO, TNT, and TruTV. The TV channel and live stream options are listed below.

The United States Men’s National Team hosts Senegal in a pre-World Cup friendly, giving Mauricio Pochettino one of his final opportunities to fine-tune his squad before the tournament kicks off on home soil.

For the USMNT, this match carries real weight. With the World Cup less than two weeks away, Pochettino’s 26-man roster has been confirmed, and the focus has fully shifted to preparation. The squad is in camp in Atlanta, working through the early stages of what the country hopes will be a historic summer.

Pochettino himself has been at the center of attention this week, with reports linking him to the vacant managerial role at AC Milan. The Argentine addressed the speculation directly, making clear that his commitment to the national team runs through the end of the tournament. Those in camp say the noise has had no impact on preparations.

Senegal arrive in good form. The Lions of Teranga head into this fixture off back-to-back friendly wins, having beaten Gambia 3-1 and Peru 2-0 in late March. They face France, Norway, and Iraq in Group I when the World Cup begins, and Aliou Cissé will want his side sharp and cohesive before the stakes rise.

For the hosts, 38-year-old center back Tim Ream is among the players who made the final 26, completing a remarkable personal journey to reach a second World Cup. His inclusion speaks to both his quality and the depth of character Pochettino values in this group.

This is the USMNT’s penultimate warm-up fixture before their tournament opener against Paraguay on June 12. A match against Germany follows on June 6, meaning Saturday’s game is the first real test of Pochettino’s preferred combinations under genuine competitive pressure.
