The match is scheduled to take place at 9:00 a.m. ET. The winner of the match will take on the winner of Canada vs. Germany on Tuesday, Aug. 6.
The USWNT is seeking its first gold since the 2012 London Olympics after losing in the quarterfinals in Rio in 2016 and taking the Bronze in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
Saturday's quarterfinal match will be the fifth meeting between the United States women's team and Japan in the Olympics, which will tie Brazil-Germany as the most-played match in Olympics history, according to U.S. Soccer. USA-Japan was last played in the gold medal match in London in 2012, which the U.S. won.
All-time, it's the 41st meeting between the two teams, most recently at the 2024 SheBelieves Cup, a match the U.S. also won.
Capain Lindsey Horan (153 caps) will once again lead the team.
