USA vs Ghana live stream: How to watch international soccer game online
The USMNT hosts the Black Stars in another friendly
There was a time when the USA and Ghana were sick of the sight of each other. For three World Cups in a row, the teams met – a last 16 tie sandwiched between two group stage contests – but a 2017 friendly is the only encounter since for two countries inextricably linked by Ghanaian-born former U.S. wonderkid Freddy Adu. With new-ish coaches in both dugouts, there are new beginnings for both sides.
The USA vs Ghana live stream has plenty to whet the appetite — you can watch it live from anywhere with a VPN, and potentially for FREE.
The USA vs Ghana live stream takes place Tuesday (Oct. 17).

The first major test since Gregg Berhalter's reappointment as USMNT boss ended in a 3-1 defeat to Germany on Saturday, but there were signs of a talented playing roster that can go into 2026's home World Cup with a shot of going big.
Captain Christian Pulisic opened the scoring and, though the USMNT miss injured midfielder Tyler Adams, it now has a center forward in Folarin Balogun to cast fear into the hearts of opponents.
Ghana head coach Chris Hughton takes great pride in managing the country of his father, Willie, having made the step up from a technical advisor role in February. The Black Stars have qualified for the Africa Cup of Nations at the beginning of next year with room to spare under Hughton and next month begin qualifying for the World Cup against Madagascar and Comoros.
Following a 2-0 defeat to Mexico at the weekend, Hughton will be hoping Premier League stars Mohammed Kudus, Jordan Ayew and Thomas Partey can combine with La Liga forward Inaki Williams to upset the hosts. You’ll need to watch a USA vs Ghana live stream to see how this plays out, and we’ve got all the details you need down below.
