United States, Bosnia clash in World Cup 2026 knockout round

The United States host Bosnia & Herzegovina at Levi’s Stadium for the round of 32 in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification. The match is scheduled for 03:00 local time and will be broadcast live on Greece’s ERT1 and streamed by betting operators.

The United States are looking to secure a rare knockout‑stage victory after a mixed recent record, while Bosnia have reached this stage for the first time, having qualified by winning their group with a decisive 3‑1 win over Qatar. The side previously missed the 2018 and 2022 tournaments and were eliminated in 2014, making this appearance a notable success story.

Both teams enter the game with contrasting recent form: the U.S. have struggled against European opponents in recent years, whereas Bosnia rely on strong motivation and a solid defensive effort despite conceding several goals in the qualifiers.
