A match made for Charlotte: U.S. Soccer announced that the U.S. Men’s National Team’s final push to the 2026 FIFA World Cup includes four pre-tournament matches in cities like Atlanta and Chicago — plus a stop in the Queen City next spring. This friendly marks only the second USMNT appearance at Bank of America Stadium; the first drew 40,243 fans.

BofA will host the Allstate Continental Clásico on May 31, with the opponent expected to be announced soon.

Catch players like Charlotte FC defender Tim Ream on his home pitch — he’s earned 79 caps for the USMNT since 2011 and has captained the squad 25 times, ranking him eighth on the team’s all-time captains list.

Kickoff in the Queen City is set for 3:30 p.m., with broadcast on TBS, HBO Max, Universo, and Peacock. General ticket sales start tomorrow, Dec. 5.
