Following the annual USL Board of Governors mid-year meetings, held last Thursday in San Jose in conjunction with the 2016 MLS All-Star Game, the United Soccer League today released the composition of its 2017 competition structure.
The USL Board of Governors approved a 32-game schedule that will begin the weekend of March 24-26 contested in a span of not more than 30 weeks. The competition structure is developed through the League’s Off-Field Competition Committee before a final recommendation is presented to the BOG's for voting.
The 32-game schedule will allow each team to play its conference opponents at least twice, one home and one away, with regional rivalries rounding out the schedule.
