The 2026 World Cup is over for the USMNT, and attention turns to the 2030 World Cup hosted by Morocco, Portugal, and Spain. ESPN projects 30 players for the next cycle, beginning with friendlies this fall. Veterans like Tim Ream will depart, but young prospects are ready to step up.

Goalkeepers include Matt Turner (36 by 2030), Matt Freese (27), Chris Brady (22), and Diego Kochen (20). Defenders feature Chris Richards (26), Antonee Robinson (28), Auston Trusty (27), Alex Freeman (21), Joe Scally (23), and prospects Noahkai Banks (19) and Frankie Westfield (20).

Midfield balances experience and youth with Tyler Adams (27), Weston McKennie (27), Sebastian Berhalter (25), Malik Tillman (24), Tanner Tessmann (24), Aidan Morris (24), Johnny Cardoso (24), and 17-year-old Adri Mehmeti. Wingers include Christian Pulisic (27), though his future depends on health.
