USA vs. Paraguay World Cup 2026 Tickets

Clash of Styles and Historical Context

The USA arrive at Los Angeles’ SoFi Stadium as hosts, riding the confidence of the run that took them to the round of 16 at Qatar 2022, where they went toe-to-toe with top European teams. On the other side will be Paraguay, a side traditionally tough to break down in South America: solid defensive structure, real strength in the air and a combative edge in every 50-50 challenge.

This is a showdown between two very different schools of football: the United States rely on high pressing, pace out wide and a high-tempo, end-to-end game, while Paraguay are in their element closing down spaces, winning duels and punishing any mistake with lightning-fast transitions.

In a World Cup group stage, every loose ball matters: a poorly defended corner, a second ball at the edge of the box or a counterattack that isn’t stopped in time can reshape the group. Experiencing this match live, under SoFi’s translucent roof, with the noise bouncing around a stadium configured for around 70,000 spectators for football, means feeling every tackle almost from pitchside.

World Cup Pedigree and Star Players

The USA have become regulars at World Cups and in 2022 they returned to the round of 16 with a young generation already playing in Europe’s top leagues. Christian Pulisic leads the attack, backed by Weston McKennie’s box-to-box energy, Tyler Adams’ balance and a unit that runs, presses and competes for the full ninety minutes.

Paraguay, with memorable World Cups like their 2010 quarter-finals and multiple Copa América finals in their history, build from the back: powerful centre-backs, relentless full-backs and midfielders who never shy away from physical battles. USA–Paraguay in Los Angeles is a straight duel between ambitious hosts and a South American side that specialise in tight, hard-fought games. Secure your ticket and feel a high-voltage clash live from the stands.

Prices and Seating Areas at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles

SoFi Stadium is one of the most modern venues in the world, with multi-tiered stands, a translucent roof and a huge, wraparound video board running along the upper perimeter, delivering excellent sightlines from almost every seat.

The lower sidelines are the equivalent of central tribune seats in Munich or London; the ends are home to the loudest fans, and the upper tiers give you a great view of the tactical setup.

Based on typical price ranges for major international tournaments, you can roughly expect around €70–100 in the highest areas (category 4), €120–200 behind the goals and in the corners (category 3), €200–320 along the mid-level sidelines (category 2) and €320–400 for prime central seats on the halfway line (category 1). These figures are approximate and can vary depending on demand, the opponent or when you buy, but they set the bracket you should aim for if you don’t want to miss this USA–Paraguay showdown in Los Angeles.
