The United Soccer League (USL) club owners have voted to adopt a promotion and relegation system, enabling a European-style system in the U.S. soccer landscape. This decision coincides with plans to launch a Division One men’s professional league in 2027, intended to compete with Major League Soccer. USL, with its intention of fostering a competitive multi-tiered system, aims to provide pathways for youth soccer and to enhance community engagement. USL's CEO stated this initiative marks a pivotal moment for soccer in America, allowing communities to aspire to higher competition levels.
A new chapter in American soccer begins. The decision by our owners to approve and move forward with this bold direction is a testament to their commitment to the long-term growth of soccer in the United States.
This is a significant milestone for the USL and highlights our shared vision with our team ownership to build a league that not only provides top-tier competition but also champions community engagement.
