Team USA vs. Hungary score, live updates: FIBA World Cup quarterfinals begin as Caitlin Clark, Breanna Stewart seek semifinal berth

Team USA, following a perfect run in the FIBA World Cup group stage, will determine its fate in Thursday's quarterfinals against Hungary. The U.S. team managed to secure three victories during the initial stages of the tournament, but did encounter challenges along the way. Their most recent triumph came on Monday, when they defeated Czechia with a convincing 105-64 score.

This win was particularly encouraging as it followed a difficult loss to Italy on Sunday. Throughout the tournament, Team USA has demonstrated a balanced scoring approach, with six players contributing double-digit scores and each player amassing at least 2 points on Monday's game. However, the team's shooting accuracy from beyond the arc remains a concern, as they are currently shooting at a mere 29% from three-point range.

The match against Hungary will be a critical juncture for Team USA to assert their dominance and secure a spot in the semifinals. Tune in to watch the thrilling encounter as it unfolds on Sept. 10, 2026, at 5:30 a.m. ET on TNT, with streaming available via TNT, Courtside 1891 via DAZN, HBO Max, and YouTube TV.
