I would apologize for continuing to use this space to extoll the virtues of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, but it continues to be an incredible experience to watch every time I turn on the TV. That remains true whether or not the United States is playing, but having a U.S. Men’s National Team looking this sharp as the knockout stage begins.
That excitement continues this week, but there are plenty of other great TV and movie premieres to enjoy as well! Find out which titles we recommend streaming every day this week, including sports, celebrations of America’s 250th anniversary, and more!
