The U.S. men’s national team returns to its first official competitive action since the conclusion of the 2022 FIFA World Cup as the USMNT convenes for two CONCACAF Nations League games against Grenada and El Salvador.
The last time the USA took the field was in January 2023, when the Americans broke camp for friendlies against Serbia and Colombia. These matches were played with a roster made up of mostly domestic players, as the games were not scheduled during the official FIFA international window and clubs around the world did not have to release players.
However, the matches in March 2023 fall within FIFA’s designated international window, with road matches in Grenada on 24 March and then at home against El Salvador on 27 March. A contingent of USMNT first-choice players should be called up.
USMNT roster for March 2023 games (projected)
Below is a projected 27-man USMNT roster for the March 2023 international break.
One important note: there is no limit to the roster size for CONCACAF Nations League matches. The USA assembled a 23-man roster for their most recent CONCACAF Nations League games last summer, while they featured 24 players in the latest January camp and 26 players last September.
The projection below features 27 players, but the U.S. could give additional players a look, or cut it down to a tighter group.
