USA vs Belgium: Kickoff Time, Live Stream, and TV Info for World Cup Round of 16

The United States faces Belgium in the Round of 16 at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, revisiting a rivalry from the 2014 tournament where Belgium edged out the USA 2-1 at this stage.

Both teams had different paths to reach this point. The USA secured their spot with a 2-0 win over Bosnia and Herzegovina, featuring goals by Folarin Balogun and Malik Tillman. Belgium's journey was more dramatic, coming back from a 2-0 deficit against Senegal in the final minutes to force extra time, where Youri Tielemans scored a penalty in the 125th minute to clinch the victory.

The squads have changed since 2014; no American players from that team remain, but Belgium still counts on key figures like Thibaut Courtois, Kevin De Bruyne, and Romelu Lukaku.

Belgium aims to reach the quarterfinals for the first time since finishing third in 2018, while the USA looks to overcome their previous loss and make it to the quarterfinals for the first time since 2002.
