The U.S. men’s national team can lock into the 2025 Concacaf Nations League Finals and the 2025 Concacaf Gold Cup with a win or draw against Jamaica in the second leg of its Nations League quarterfinal series on Monday evening in St. Louis.
Kickoff at CITYPARK, the two-year-old home of St. Louis City, is at 8 p.m. ET and the match will be broadcast by TNT, TruTV, Universo, Max and Peacock, and you can live stream it on Sling TV (discount), DirecTV Stream (discount and FREE trial) and fubo TV (FREE trial).
The U.S. men’s team won its quarterfinal opener, 1-0, on Nov. 14 in Kingston, Jamaica. Striker Ricardo Pepi scored the game’s only goal and goalkeeper Matt Turner saved a penalty kick to preserve the win. It was the first competitive match, and first competitive victory, under new head coach Mauricio Pochettino.
It also was the U.S. team’s first shutout win as the road team since an October 2016 friendly in Cuba, where Julian Green and Chris Wondolowski scored in a 2-0 triumph in Havana. The USA’s most recent competitive shutout win as the road team came just a month earlier, in September 2016. Christian Pulisic scored his second and third intentional goals as the USA routed St. Vincent and the Grenadines, 6-0, in a World Cup qualifier in Kingstown.
Aggregate goals and away goals will be used as a tiebreaker if Jamaica wins by one in St. Louis for this year’s two-game quarterfinal series.
If the teams remain level on both goals and away goals, 30 minutes of extra time will be played. Away goals won’t be counted in extra time, and penalties will determine the winner if the score is still tied.
This final fixture of 2024 for the U.S. men’s team will set the stage for a crucial 2025. As a co-host, the USA qualifies automatically for the 2026 World Cup, as there are no qualifying matches to contest.
That leaves the Nations League and Gold Cup as the program’s only competitive opportunities before the summer of 2026. Making the most of those tournaments will be critical, and eliminating Jamaica this month is the key to both.

Midfielders Brenden Aaronson and Aidan Morris were unavailable for selection in Kingston. Aaronson was ill and did not travel to Jamaica while Morris suffered a right knee sprain in training and was ruled out of both matches. Aaronson met up with the rest of the team in St. Louis on Friday while Morris has left camp.

Midfielder Johnny Cardoso left Thursday’s game with an injury and was replaced by Malik Tillman in the 21st minute. Cardoso has departed camp, leaving 23 players on the roster.
Finally, Tim Weah is back for the first time since his red card for punching Panama defender Roderick Miller on the head contributed to a first-round elimination at the Copa America and the decision to replace coach Gregg Berhalter with Pochettino.
