The dates and times for a pair of CONCACAF Gold Cup games being held at U.S. Bank Stadium were announced Friday, and U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis will host two quarterfinal matches. 

The games will be held on Sunday, June 29, play back-to-back, at the Vikings stadium. Game 1 will kick off at 3 p.m. CT, with Game 2 following at 6 p.m. CT. 

U.S. Bank Stadium is one of 14 stadiums hosting games for the 2025 edition of the biennial tournament, and it will be the first time the stadium has hosted Gold Cup games. Previously, Allianz Field held a pair of group games, including one featuring the U.S. Men's National Team (USMNT) in 2019.

As part of the 2025 tournament, 16 teams will compete for the Gold Cup title, won most recently by Mexico in 2023. The USMNT have won the tournament seven times, trailing only Mexico's nine Gold Cup titles.

The tournament will feature 15 teams from the CONCACAF region, plus one invited team (Saudi Arabia). The USMNT were drawn into Group D, alongside Haiti, Trinidad and Tobago, and Saudi Arabia.

This year's tournament kicks off on June 14 when Mexico plays the Domincan Republic at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. 

The four group winners and four runners-up will advance to the knockout rounds, culminating in the July 6 final at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas.
