SAN ANTONIO – Toyota Field will host an international friendly between the United States Men’s National Team (USMNT) and Slovenia on Saturday, January 20, 2024, the club announced today. The match will kick off at 2 p.m. CT and be broadcast on TNT, Telemundo, Universo, Max and Peacock. Live Spanish-language audio of the match will be available on Fútbol de Primera radio platforms.
“This is a celebratory moment in Toyota Field’s history,” said Jose Lizardo, Director of Toyota Field and STAR Soccer Complex. “Hosting the U.S. Men’s National team is a tremendous honor for Spurs Sports & Entertainment and all of South Texas. San Antonio FC fans know the incredible home field advantage Toyota Field showcases weekly, and we are thrilled for it to be on full display for U.S. Soccer supporters across the country.”
This marks just the second time U.S. Soccer will host a match in the venue of a club currently playing in the United Soccer League during the modern era.

As part of our core mission to grow the game, we think it’s important to bring the National Teams to different markets across the United States as well as showcase the great work being done at all levels of the sport,” said U.S. Soccer Chief Commercial Officer Dave Wright. “San Antonio certainly deserves that recognition, and we’d like to thank the City of San Antonio, Spurs Sports & Entertainment, and San Antonio FC for their incredible partnership and support to date.
