The United Soccer League today announced the unification of its three leagues—USL, USL D-III, and the Premier Development League—under a new brand identity and structure. Starting before next season, the leagues will be known as the USL Championship, USL League One, and USL League Two.
The rebrand comes as the 2018 regular season enters its final stretch and as they still seek expansion franchises for their middle tier league, USL League One. The league has yet to be officially sanctioned as a Division III league in the U.S. Soccer pyramid, but have submitted the application to begin that process.
