As the 2026 FIFA World Cup approaches, HBO sports documentary series ‘World Cup The Five-Part Series Takes An’U.S. Against the World: Four Years With the Men’s National Soccer Team’ takes an unprecedented look inside the United States Men’s National Soccer Team.
Featured in the documentary are current USMNT head coach Mauricio Pochettino; former USMNT head coach Gregg Berhalter; USMNT players Christian Pulisic, Sergiño Dest, Tim Ream, Matt Turner, Chris Richards, Giovanni Reyna, Folarin Balogun, Antonee Robinson, Matt Freese, Brenden Aaronson, Malik Tillman, Yunus Musah, Mark McKenzie, and Sebastian Berhalter; and journalist Paul Tenorio.
The five-part sports documentary series, produced by Park Stories, debuts Tuesday, May 12 at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT on HBO and will be available to stream on HBO Max. Subsequent episodes will debut on Tuesdays at the same time.
U.S. Against the World: Four Years With the Men’s National Soccer Team exclusively chronicles the United States Men’s National Soccer Team (USMNT) in the lead-up to the 2026 FIFA World Cup in North America this June.
Filmed over the course of four years, the series follows Christian Pulisic, Tyler Adams, Tim Weah, Weston McKennie, and an array of U.S. players on their personal and collective journeys toward their sport’s signature global event.
Beginning with never-before-seen footage of the USMNT at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, cameras capture the players through training camps and international matches, as well as intimate off-the-field moments at home and abroad.
The series also documents the 2024 transition from former head coach Gregg Berhalter to current head coach Mauricio Pochettino – a significant shift that resets their strategy and recalibrates the team.
As June 2026 approaches, the focus turns to the rising urgency of individual players fighting to secure their spots on the World Cup roster and the pressure on Pochettino and his team to deliver a historic performance on home soil.
