USA vs Turkey World Cup Watch Parties NYC — June 25, 2026 (6 PM Kickoff)

Published 2026-06-15 · WorldCup.NYC Editorial

This one is at MetLife Stadium — the World Cup's NYC/NJ home. USA vs Turkey on June 25 is a home game in every sense: played at MetLife, in front of a tri-state area crowd that will be overwhelmingly behind the US. By the time this match kicks off, the USA's group stage fate may already be clear — or it may be a genuine must-win. Either way, it's the biggest USMNT match in the New York metro area in a generation.

Note: June 25 is also the day of Ecuador vs Germany at MetLife at 3 PM ET — so the stadium and surrounding area will be in full World Cup mode all afternoon. Watch parties across the city will be running consecutive matches.
