when did the us win the world cup

The U.S. men’s team won the 2026 World Cup knockout game against Bosnia and Herzegovina on July 1, 2026 , which was described as their second-ever World Cup knockout-round win.

Context

That result does not mean the U.S. has won the entire World Cup tournament. It means they won a knockout match in the current World Cup run.

Notable detail

The win was reported as a 2-0 result, with Folarin Balogun scoring before being sent off later in the match.

Broader answer

If you meant the men’s senior national team winning the whole World Cup , the U.S. has never won the FIFA men’s World Cup.
