Where are the USA World Cup matches being played?
Los Angeles (SoFi Stadium) hosts the Paraguay and Turkey matches; Seattle (Lumen Field) hosts the Australia match.

Why are the USA matches so late on the East Coast?
FIFA schedules host-nation matches for primetime in the local market. Because all three US group-stage matches are on the West Coast, primetime in Los Angeles — 7:00 PM PDT — is 10:00 PM on the East Coast. For viewers in New York, Atlanta, or Miami, that means a late night; plan your caffeine accordingly. Source: USA World Cup 2026 Schedule: Match Times, Reminders & Key Games
