The 2026 World Cup Group D kicks off with co-hosts USA facing Paraguay on June 13 in Los Angeles, followed by matches against Australia and Turkey. All three USA group stage matches take place on home soil across Los Angeles and Seattle, giving the Americans a significant advantage in their quest to advance from the group stage.

USA's 26-man squad features Premier League and European talent including Christian Pulisic (AC Milan), Weston McKennie (Juventus), and goalkeeper Matt Turner. New manager Mauricio Pochettino will rely on experienced defenders like Antonee Robinson and Tim Ream to anchor a squad blending youth and veteran presence.

Paraguay enters under Gustavo Alfaro with Miguel Almiron leading the attack alongside a squad featuring players from Sunderland, Brighton, and Brazilian clubs. Australia's campaign begins against Turkey in Vancouver before traveling to face the USA in Seattle, with goalkeeper Mat Ryan and defender Harry Souttar providing Premier League experience.

Turkey's squad showcases emerging talent like Arda Guler from Real Madrid alongside seasoned midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu (Inter Milan). Manager Vincenzo Montella faces the challenge of balancing attacking flair with defensive stability across three matches that will determine which teams reach the knockout rounds.
