Following the Group
For travelling fans, following the United States is a West Coast trip, starting in Los Angeles for the opener and final group game, with a Seattle leg in between.
Entry to the US runs on the ESTA or a US visa. Book Los Angeles and Seattle hotels early, as rates climb on match days.
Chasing every Group D game? Only the Vancouver fixture sits outside the US and needs separate Canadian entry, and most US-focused fans skip it.
Watching from home, every match is broadcast live. US Pacific kick-offs fall in the small hours across much of the world, so check your local time and channels.
