Quick Scoop: What’s Next for Team USA

Next game details

  • Opponent: Germany 🇩🇪
  • Date: Sunday, February 15, 2026
  • Time: 3:10 p.m. ET (9:10 p.m. local time in Milan)

If you’ve been following along, this is Team USA’s third group-stage game after Latvia (Feb 12) and Denmark (Feb 14).

What comes after Germany

Assuming normal progression through the tournament, here’s the likely path after the Germany game (exact matchup depends on standings):

  • February 17, 2026: Playoff/qualification round games are scheduled, and USA could appear here if they don’t get a direct bye to the quarterfinals.
  • February 18, 2026: Quarterfinals.
  • February 20, 2026: Semifinals.
  • February 21, 2026: Bronze medal game.
  • February 22, 2026: Gold medal game.

Those later games are “TBD” for opponent (and sometimes for USA’s participation) because they depend on how the group stage finishes.

How to double-check for your time zone

Since all official listings are in Eastern Time:

  1. Take the 3:10 p.m. ET puck drop vs Germany on Feb 15.
  2. Use a time zone converter (ET → your local time).
  3. Remember that Milan is typically 6 hours ahead of ET in February, so 3:10 p.m. ET is 9:10 p.m. local.

If you tell me your city or time zone, I can translate that Germany game start into your exact local time.
