We’re back with Episode 169 as we go through the details of US Soccer’s ticket lotteries for the 2026 World Cup and we discuss the rumored 2026 World Cup jerseys.

First, US Soccer has emailed Insiders members along with members of the three main supporters groups - American Outlaws, Barra 76, and Sammers SC - with details on how to apply for tickets in US Soccer’s allocation for the 2026 World Cup. It’s a lot of information and there have been several questions about how it will work. We do our best to clarify what the process will be, how you can apply for tickets, and whether you should apply through US Soccer or FIFA (or both!) to try and claim USMNT tickets.

After the break, we get into the talk around the rumored 2026 home jerseys for the USMNT and USWNT. They’re the closest US Soccer has come to recreating the Waldos from 2012, and this guy loves them. We have a couple more details on the jersey and we have some fun as we like to hope these jerseys come to life on the field this year.
