CHICAGO – The U.S. Women’s National Team will face the Republic of Ireland in two June matches, at DICK’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City, Colo. on Thursday, June 26 (7 p.m. MT / 9 p.m. ET on TBS, truTV and Max, Universo & Peacock in Spanish and on the radio on Westwood One Sports) and at TQL Stadium in Cincinnati on Sunday, June 29 (3 p.m. ET on TNT, truTV and Max, Universo & Peacock in Spanish and on the radio on Westwood One Sports). The USA will also play a third match in this window on July 2 with an opponent and venue to be announced.

These will be the first meetings with Ireland since April of 2023 when the USA swept a pair of games in Austin, Texas and St. Louis ahead of the FIFA Women’s World Cup. The Irish are a side chock full of players from England’s Women’s Super League like Arsenal FC’s Katie McCabe, the team captain, as well as long-time North Carolina Courage star Denise O’Sullivan.

U.S. head coach Emma Hayes coached her first USWNT game in at DICK’s Sporting Goods Park in the USA’s victory over Korea Republic on June 1, 2024. Colorado recently became the newest expansion city for the National Women’s Soccer League, and the club is slated to begin play in 2026.

“Ireland is one of the most difficult European teams to play against, so I’m happy we could get these games,” said Hayes. “We need to play teams that will push us and create an environment where our players have to solve problems and play under pressure. We’re still early in our process of building towards World Cup qualifying for ’27 and we still have a lot of growth to go as a team and as individuals, so these summer matches at these great soccer venues will once again provide a platform for the players to show their abilities to excel at a high level.”
