I’m hearing the status of #USL central conference / 2019 conference alignment is still to be decided.


Would love to see this happen. Should help a lot with involvement and attendance at the USL level.

The bigger news is that they are going to have a 2nd division.

They've already announced a few teams. It's not hard to find info on it.

I think all of the MLS 2 teams will move to the third division over ththe next few years to compete against small market independent teams. That’s great for the growth of US Soccer. You’ll probably see a lot of movement between the two USL divisions even without formal pro-rel, as teams figure out which division suits them the best.

There are 6 confirmed teams, and only one of those (Toronto) is an MLS affiliate, so I bet many more D3 teams will be confirmed soon.

And yes, adding a third conference to the USL would really help, considering the league will have almost 40 teams next year, based on current information.
