USWNT joined by Argentina, Canada, Colombia for 2026 SheBelieves Cup

The 2026 SheBelieves Cup field is set. 

Emma Hayes’ U.S. women’s national team squad will be joined by Argentina, Canada, and Colombia for the annual four-nation tournament, U.S. Soccer announced Wednesday. The tournament will run from March 1-7 at GEODIS Park in Nashville, Tennessee, ScottsMiracle-Gro Field in Columbus, Ohio, and Sports Illustrated Stadium in Harrison, New Jersey. 

The USWNT will open play against Argentina on March 1 in Nashville before taking on Canada in Columbus on March 4. Colombia will oppose the Americans in both teams’ final match of the tournament in Harrison on March 7. 

Canada will be making its fourth SheBelieves Cup appearance while Argentina and Colombia will be appearing for their second time apiece. 

These will be the third, fourth, and fifth matches for the USWNT in 2026. A USWNT training camp will be held from January 17-27 in California before friendly matches occur against Paraguay on Jan. 24 at Dignity Health Sports Park and against Chile on Jan. 27 at Harder Stadium on the campus of UC Santa Barbara.  

The SheBelieves Cup will serve as continued preparation matches for the USWNT ahead of the 2026 Concacaf W Championship in November. Due to being a host nation for the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup, the USWNT have already qualified for the competition.

“These are three teams that will likely be in the World Cup in 2027 and of course we’ll likely see Canada in World Cup qualifying at the end of the year, so when focusing on our continued preparations and growth as a team, the SheBelieves Cup is of great value,” said Hayes. “Each team brings different strengths and will challenge us to find success in all parts of the field, which is exactly what we need as we continue our process to build toward the big events on the horizon.”  

The USWNT closed 2025 with a pair of friendly wins over Italy in Florida.
