USL Championship
We operate and coordinate the USL Championship, a men’s professional outdoor soccer league in the United States. We grant clubs the right to field a team in the league and compete in a season that runs from about mid-March through mid-November. Clubs are expected to follow our league rules and minimum standards, as well as the requirements of U.S. Soccer and other governing bodies. The business is a sports entertainment operation centered on live matches, local fan attendance, merchandise, sponsorships, and related soccer programming. Our clubs compete in the broader market for sports fans and live entertainment in their local markets.
