Christian Pulisic and the United States are back on the World Cup schedule for Wednesday, July 1, when they face Bosnia and Herzegovina in a Round of 32 match at 8 p.m. ET at San Francisco Bay Stadium. The game is one of three Day 21 knockout matches and the clearest draw for viewers looking for the USA Red Card matchup everyone is searching for today.
The timing matters because this is the only United States match on the board for prime time, and it arrives with knockout consequences attached even before the first whistle. For fans deciding when to tune in, the answer is simple: the United States and Bosnia and Herzegovina go last of the day, after England plays DR Congo at noon ET in Atlanta and Belgium and Senegal meet at 4 p.m. in Seattle.
FOX and FS1 will carry the matches, while FOX One will stream all World Cup games live and on demand. That makes the broadcast path straightforward, but the soccer itself still leaves no room for comfort. A Round of 32 game is a cut line, not a warmup, and the United States has to treat it that way if it wants to keep moving.
The broader slate also gives the day some texture. Jude Bellingham was the Man of the Match in England's 2-0 win over Panama on Saturday, and Declan Rice is expected to return to the starting XI. Nicolas Gueye scored twice and added an assist after coming on in the 56th minute in a 5-0 win over Iraq. Those results are already in the book; the United States still has to write its own.
Weston McKennie is described as extremely important to the U.S. team, which is why this match will be judged by how well the United States handles the midfield pressure that comes with knockout football. The next confirmed step is the 8 p.m. ET kickoff in San Francisco Bay Stadium, and that is where the USA Red Card story either turns into a result or ends as a schedule note.
