USL Championship Announces Plans for Revised 2020 Season

The USL Championship unveiled the format for the remainder of 2020 on Wednesday, which will include a total of 16 regular season matches for all competing teams. The 13-week season will span from July 11 and end October 2-4 with playoffs to follow.

After reports that several MLS-affiliated teams would not partake in the 2020 season surfaced recently, it appears that they were able to work something out with the USL after the league announced that all 35 teams plan to participate in the revised season.

In an effort to limit travel, the league will be split up into eight separate regionalized groups, with five groups of four teams and three groups of five teams.
