With the MLS playoffs heating up, D.C. United forward Wayne Rooney is in… England? The former captain has over 100 England games under his belt, and with his MLS season over, he has been called back up to take on the U.S. Men’s National Team (USMNT) in what will likely be his final game. Notable USMNT call-ups include Schalke 04 midfielder Weston McKennie, and Hershey, Pennsylvania’s very own Christian Pulisic, who has only featured once for the USMNT since failing to qualify for the World Cup last October.

Here’s everything you need to know to watch the USMNT vs. England live stream.

USMNT vs. England: Why it matters

As friendlies go, this game provides everything you could want. Both teams have a specific way of playing and will be testing the depth of their squads, with the USMNT using all of its young players and England rotating ahead of its UEFA Nations League match against Croatia. Strangely enough, both teams have their talisman returning after being away, although Rooney isn’t nearly as important to his side as Pulisic is to the USMNT. With Pulisic back in the fold, this new-look U.S. team will finally get a real shot to show how they play together. England has all eyes on avoiding relegation against Croatia on Sunday, so they will be treating this game like a training exercise. England played a back three during the World Cup and in its first two games after, but has moved to a 4-3-3 recently.

We can’t wait to see what manager Gareth Southgate cooks up for the U.S. Getting Tyler Adams, Weston McKennie, and Pulisic on the field together has been a dream of U.S. fans for what feels like decades, and the time has finally come. The USMNT squad is close to being full strength in terms of talent called up, so these two games are the final dress rehearsal before the Gold Cup next summer. The players to watch for the USMNT are the three previously mentioned along with Tim Weah and Josh Sargent. These five, all under 22, could hopefully be the core of this team over the next two World Cup cycles. Getting this young crop of players assimilated is the No. 1 priority. The prospect of having them in their prime for the 2026 World Cup is enough to keep our international dreams alive. All players have to put in the work of course, but the talent is there for this fab five to take the USMNT into the top tier of world soccer.
