Where to watch USWNT vs. Ireland live stream, TV channel, start time for USA friendly
The USWNT welcomes the Republic of Ireland for a two-match friendly series beginning June 26 in Colorado, as coach Emma Hayes continues reshaping the squad ahead of World Cup qualifiers.
With many Europe-based stars rested, this window gives space to NWSL talent and emerging names like Claire Hutton and Ally Sentnor, while Rose Lavelle makes her return to midfield leadership.
The U.S. enters with momentum, having dominated Jamaica 4-0 in their last outing. Expect a high-tempo, possession-heavy approach from Hayes’ side.
Ireland, under new boss Carla Ward, has quietly become one of Europe’s most tactically adaptable sides. Coming off a strong Nations League run and a narrow win over Slovenia, the Irish women will aim to stay compact defensively. They’ll likely deploy a 5-4-1 or 4-5-1 shape to frustrate the Americans and spring attacks from deep, targeting lapses in transition.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.
