Shaping the future of the beautiful game in the United States, the United Soccer League (USL)–one of the most successful professional soccer organizations in the world–unites passionate fans in new markets with the thrill of a proven professional soccer experience.

The USL targets U.S. communities ranging in population from 150,000 to one million–markets that represent more than 75 million people. League One focuses on launching new clubs in markets that possess strong local ownership groups, populations with broad-based diversity, a vibrant millennial and strong family base, established corporate support, and stadiums to properly showcase the sport for fans, partners, and the public.

League One benefits from several USL initiatives, including USL Productions, the organization’s $10 million broadcast and content arm that was established in 2015 which features a cutting-edge broadcast and production facility in South Florida. League One is operated with the same high level of sophistication and operational expertise that built the USL Championship into a widely successful and respected league.

Based in Tampa, Fla., the USL supports its clubs through a dedicated staff of more than 50 executives in vital business areas, including broadcasting, sponsorship, communications, competition, league operations, merchandise licensing, team services, and more.

Through League One, USL continues to lead the growth of the sport by cultivating and bonding local supporters through the ‘beautiful game’ for generations to come.
