USWNT Announces 26-Player Roster for 2026 SheBelieves Cup
United States women’s national soccer team head coach Emma Hayes has named a 26-player roster for the 2026 SheBelieves Cup, presented by Visa.
The tournament will feature doubleheaders in:
- March 1 – Nashville, Tennessee
- March 4 – Columbus, Ohio
- March 7 – Harrison, New Jersey
Tickets for all matchdays are available at ussoccer.com.
This is the 11th annual SheBelieves Cup. The United States won five straight titles before Japan lifted the trophy in 2025. This will be Hayes’ second SheBelieves Cup in charge.
For this year, rosters expanded from 23 to 26 players. Coaches can dress 23 players per match, but they can rotate from the full 26-player squad.
Nine players will play in their first SheBelieves Cup. Thirteen players return from last year’s roster. Eleven players who were not part of the January camp were selected for this tournament.
Hayes said the tournament helps the team prepare for major competitions.
“The SheBelieves Cup gives us the chance to replicate the group stage of a FIFA tournament,” Hayes said. “Three strong games in a short period will help us prepare for World Cup qualifying this fall. We want to keep developing our player pool and raise our standards.”
