Austin, TX
US will play in San Jose and Texas in CONCACAF Gold Cup
The United States will open the CONCACAF Gold Cup against Trinidad and Tobago on June 15 at San Jose, California, play Saudi Arabia four days later at Austin, Texas, and close first-round play in Group D against Haiti on June 22 at Arlington, Texas.
CONCACAF announced the match schedule on Friday, a day after the draw.
The U.S. has won its group in 16 of 17 Gold Cups, along with a second-place finish to Panama in 2011. Its group stage record is 40 wins, one loss and five draws.
These will be the last competitive matches for U.S. coach Mauricio Pochettino’s team before its World Cup opener on June 12, 2026.
Sending a second-string team for the second straight Gold Cup, the U.S. lost a 2023 semifinal to Panama on penalty kicks.
Defending Gold Cup champion Mexico will play the opener of the biennial championship of North and Central America and Caribbean against the Dominican Republic on June 14 at Inglewood, California, meet Suriname four days later at Arlington and close its Group A play against Costa Rica on June 22 at Las Vegas.
Canada will start Group B against Honduras on June 17 at Vancouver, British Columbia, play Curaçao four days later at Houston and close the first round against El Salvador on June 24 at Houston.
Panama will begin Group C against Guadeloupe on June 16 at Carson, California, face Guatemala four days later at Austin and close the first round against Jamaica on June 24 at Austin.
CONCACAF said quarterfinal doubleheaders will be on June 28 at Glendale, Arizona, and the following day in Minneapolis, and semifinals on July 2 at St. Louis and Santa Clara, California, but sites of specific knockout rounds matchups will not be announced until after the first round. It said in October that Houston will host the championship on July 6.
The tournament will be played at the same time as the FIFA Club World Cup, which has been given priority for players by FIFA. Gold Cup matches will be played at 14 stadiums in 11 areas, avoiding the Eastern seaboard.
Mexico has won nine Gold Cups and the U.S. seven. Canada won in 2000.
AUSTIN (KXAN) — With the summer solstice in the rearview mirror, we are now losing about 20 – 30 seconds of daylight every day in Central Texas, adding up to around 20 – 30 minutes of daylight loss at the end of the month.
Sunrise in Central Texas on Monday [July 6] was at 6:35 a.m. and sunset is at 8:36 p.m. On July 31st, sunrise will be at 6:49 a.m. and sunset will be at 8:31 p.m.
We’ll continue to slowly lose daylight through the summer months, but accelerates in meteorological fall before the winter solstice on December 21st. So the gradual decline in daylight daily won’t do much to combat the extreme heat in the coming weeks.
At the end of August [31st], sunrise in Central Texas will be at 7:06 a.m. and sunset will be at 8:17 p.m. Cooler days are ahead, but not for a while.

Double homicide investigation in NW Austin
The Travis County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a double homicide in the parking lot at Bare Cabaret. Deputies responded to the scene on Reservoir Court, where two people were found dead. The investigation is ongoing.
TRAVIS COUNTY, Texas – A fight in a crowded parking lot outside a Travis County gentlemen’s club early Sunday escalated into a shooting that left a man and a woman dead, authorities said.
Double homicide
What we know:
Deputies responded to a 911 call reporting shots fired just before 4 a.m. in the 9700 block of Reservoir Court, the site of the Bare Cabaret, according to the Travis County Sheriff’s Office.
An estimated 400 people were inside the establishment and packed into the parking lot when the gunfire erupted, creating a chaotic scene for arriving emergency personnel.
A man in his 20s died at the scene, officials said. A female victim, believed to be in her late teens or early 20s, was taken to a local hospital, where she later died from her injuries. The identities of the victims have not been released.
It took deputies and detectives several hours to secure and clear the area as investigators interviewed every person present to determine their involvement before allowing them to leave.
Detectives are reviewing video surveillance footage and speaking with witnesses and family members to piece together what triggered the altercation. No arrests have been announced, and the investigation remains ongoing.
