The first in a series on markets we think @USL_HQ should take a second chance on, we take a look at why the @LehighValleyPA former home of Bethlehem Steel FC, would be a great fit for @USLLeagueOne midfieldpress.com/2026/02/21/the…

The US Soccer 2026 AGM is in Atlanta this weekend. The Board of Directors passed Bylaw 241, adding a mechanism to automatically remove a professional league from membership.
Meaning;
* North American Soccer League - Gone
* National Independent Soccer Association - Gone in 2027

As a follow up to our why new pro clubs choose @USL_HQ or @MLSNEXTPRO article, we highlight one reason that shouldn't factor into an ownership group's decision: the notion that MLS Next Pro membership makes an MLS proper bid more likely to succeed midfieldpress.com/2026/02/13/is-…

Great article. USL provides a platform for more ambitious owners who want to operate more like big league, professional sports option in their city. MLS NP provides a platform for owners who want to operate a ⚽️ team within the confines of a minor league sports structure.

For fans of @USL_HQ teams, it may be a bit of a head scratcher when an independent expansion group chooses @MLSNEXTPRO over USL, but they have their reasons midfieldpress.com/2026/02/14/usl…

Great write-up on how USL Premier may look when it launches in 2028. Noted that @atleticodallas fits every requirement from the jump. Very plug and play.
They will debut in USL Championship the year prior in 2027.

Which current @USLChampionship teams are the best fits for the USL Premier launch in 2028? We put them into tiers based PLS-readiness. After 2028, pro-rel should sort it out from there midfieldpress.com/2026/02/15/usl…

New York Cosmos of Paterson, NJ? Sure, there's nothing off about the @NYCosmos representing the NY metro area from New Jersey. Just ask @Giants @nyjets or the prime era of the original Cosmos, which was largely in the Meadowlands midfieldpress.com/2026/02/05/the…

Following the USL Premier news, @PaulTenorio reported that 8 @USLChampionship teams will move up & expansion teams may fill out the new tier's other first 12-14 teams.

The @nycosmos are back on the field next month. But it seems the storied club will be built different this time. More community focus. No Marcos Senna, no Raul, let alone Pele or Beckenbauer. But perhaps the 3rd time will be more sustainable for it? midfieldpress.com/2026/02/04/the…
