what is the us ranked in the world cup

The United States is currently ranked 15th in the FIFA world rankings during the 2026 World Cup.

Quick Scoop: Where is the US ranked?

When people ask “what is the US ranked in the World Cup,” they usually mean the official FIFA world ranking, not the temporary group standings.
According to the latest update during the 2026 World Cup, the United States men’s national team sits 15th in FIFA’s live world rankings, up from 17th before the tournament started.

FIFA ranking vs World Cup standings

It helps to separate two different ideas:

• FIFA world ranking : A global rating based on results over time. The USA is 15th here.

• World Cup group table : A short-term ranking just for the group stage.

In the 2026 World Cup group stage, the USA topped Group D: they finished 1st in the group with 2 wins, 1 loss, 8 goals scored, and 6 points.

That group finish doesn’t change that their official global ranking is 15th; it just shows how they performed in their specific group. Since the World Cup is ongoing in July 2026, those FIFA rankings can still shift slightly as matches are played, but the most recent data has the USA at 15th in the world.

Fast facts

• USA FIFA world ranking: 15th.

• Change from pre-tournament: Up 2 spots (from 17th).

• Top of Group D at the World Cup: 1st place with 6 points and +4 goal difference.

If you were just wondering “What number is the US right now?” the short answer is: they’re 15th in the world in FIFA’s rankings during the 2026 World Cup.
