List of United States men's national soccer team captains
The following table includes players who have captained the United States men's national soccer team (featuring all caps, goals and assists or goalkeeper wins and shutouts) from January 24, 1998, through the September 11, 2018, game with Mexico. Values come from U.S. Soccer Federation Media Guide. All players with UNK under Captain did captain the United States men's national soccer team at one point during their career but exact numbers cannot be validated. All other Captain amounts from 1916 to 1997 are based on information from the website,[1][2][3] which does not include every match's captain, so totals are not 100% accurate.
