SheBelieves Cup 2026 schedule, fixtures

Alongside the hosts United States in the 2026 SheBelieves Cup are Canada, Argentina, and Colombia.

Border rivals Canada, ranked 10th in the world, will face the U.S. for the first time since the U.S. won 3-0 last summer in the nation's capital. Argentina, ranked 30th in the world, and Colombia, ranked 20th, round out the field as two of CONMEBOL's top-three ranked teams behind Brazil.

The tournament features rising global stars like Linda Caicedo of Colombia and Julia Grosso, although young Canada superstar Olivia Smith is not with the national team as she recovers from a hip injury suffered last fall.

While European nations have often participated in this competition in the past, the addition of simultaneous European-based events such as the Arnold Clark Cup in England have made their participation more sparse in recent years.

USWNT roster for 2026 SheBelieves Cup

Twenty-three players were initially called into camp for the 2026 SheBelieves Cup by USWNT head coach Emma Hayes.

There were two late changes, though. First, defender Avery Patterson replaced Kate Wiesner, the Washington Spirit defender withdrawing due to a calf injury. A day later, Jordyn Bugg dropped out with a hamstring issue to be replaced by Angel City's Emily Sams.

The list is headlined by Washington Spirit star Trinity Rodman, who recently signed her historic and record-breaking contract with the NWSL under the new and contentious Impact Player rule.

Also in the squad are the European-based veterans like Lindsey Heaps, Emily Fox, and Naomi Girma after being left off in the previous international window which featured only domestic-based players.

Still missing are star forwards Mallory Swanson and Sophia Smith, who make up two of the famous "Triple Espresso" attacking trio for the United States. Swanson gave birth to her first child in November, while Smith continues to nurse an ankle injury that has hampered her fitness for the better part of the past six months.

Lilly Reale was initially part of the SheBelieves Cup roster, but sustained a foot injury in the opening game against Argentina and has returned to her club. Per tournament rules, no additions can be made once the competition begins, and therefore no player will be added to the roster in her place.
