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 February 2, 2019, game with Costa Rica. Values come from U.S. Soccer Federation Media Guide.

All other Captain amounts from 1916 to 1997 are based on extensive research of game film, match statistics and match lineups found on numerous websites,[1][2][3] which have been able to place a captain with every FIFA USMNT Match.
