The Road to the 2026 World Cup officially kicks off in Atlanta as the United States faces one of the world’s elite sides in a massive international friendly against Belgium at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. With only four matches remaining before the World Cup begins in June, this is a crucial test for the squad against top-tier competition and a chance to see how the team stacks up against one of Europe’s strongest programs.
The U.S. enters this stretch undefeated in its last five matches, highlighted by a dominant 5–1 win over Uruguay and victories over Paraguay, Australia, and Japan. Momentum is building, confidence is high, and this match is the first real measuring stick before facing Portugal, Senegal, and Germany in the final run-up to the tournament.
NEW HOME FOR AO BALTIMORE:
We’re proud to host this watch party at our new official bar partner, Claddagh Pub in Canton, a Baltimore soccer landmark with decades of history tied to the local game and U.S. Soccer tradition. Opened in 1995 as a continuation of a family Irish pub dating back to the 1970s, Claddagh has long been a hub for soccer supporters and remains a staple of the Canton community.

ARRIVAL TIP (IMPORTANT):
We strongly recommend arriving between 2:00–3:00 PM. Pre-match coverage will be on with sound, and we expect a big crowd. Seats will fill quickly, especially for groups wanting to sit together. Bars generally won’t allow seat saving, and tables may be limited as the restaurant continues service. The best strategy is to come early, grab lunch (or brunch, and the food is amazing here), claim your spot, and then focus on cheering, chanting (and drinking), and supporting the team once kickoff hits.
Matchup Context
These nations share memorable history, including the dramatic 2014 World Cup Round of 16 match that went to extra time and featured Tim Howard’s legendary 16-save performance. Belgium leads the all-time series, but this is a fresh chapter with a new U.S. generation and World Cup stakes on the horizon.
This isn’t just a friendly. It’s a preview of the level the U.S. must reach this summer.
Bring your scarves. Bring your voices. Bring the energy.
WE ARE THE AMERICAN OUTLAWS.
