If you mean the USA in the 2026 World Cup , a win puts them into the next knockout round, where they would most likely play Bosnia and Herzegovina in the Round of 32. If they keep advancing, their next likely opponent would be Belgium or South Korea in the Round of 16.

Match path

  • Round of 32: Bosnia and Herzegovina.
  • Round of 16: Belgium or South Korea, depending on how the bracket shakes out.
  • Later rounds: The path gets more dependent on other results across the bracket.

Why this is the answer

The USA have already been grouped as a winner, and that places them against a third-place team in the first knockout match. Current bracket projections point to Bosnia and Herzegovina as the opponent, but that can still shift if late group-stage results change the third-place qualifiers.

Fast read

Win = stay alive and move on.
Next likely opponent = Bosnia and Herzegovina.
