The USA men’s soccer team is ranked 17th in FIFA’s world rankings in the latest source I found, and some recent World Cup power rankings have them moving into the top 10 based on tournament form.

Quick read

  • Official-style ranking: 17th in FIFA rankings.
  • Recent tournament buzz: some analysts now place the USMNT in the top 10 after the group stage.
  • Why the difference: FIFA rankings and media power rankings are not the same thing; one is an official points-based ranking, the other is a current-form judgment.

What that means

If you mean the team’s official ranking , 17th is the best straightforward answer right now. If you mean how they’re being viewed in the 2026 World Cup right now , they’re getting a stronger reputation and are being discussed as a top-10 team by some outlets.

Source note

Recent coverage also says the U.S. has jumped up in the FIFA rankings heading into its final group-stage match, which matches the broader upward trend.
