Weโre 1/1 to start the USL season ๐
With a CBA deal still pending, Lexington and Louisville begin the season with a minute-long moment of stillness.
The USL-Championship opener between Lexington SC and Louisville City FC is underway, but both sides stood motionless for a minute to call attention to ongoing CBA talks. #USL-C
@loucity.com hasnโt lost the opening match of a season since 2019. Theyโve won all six season opening matches since then. Louisville are also a perfect 3-0-0 against Lexington all time. Can Lexington reverse all of that tonight?

BREAKING: The USLPA has authorized its bargaining committee to call a strike unless an agreement w/the USL can be reached on a new CBA for players in the USL-Championship. 90% of eligible members took part in the vote, w/ 90% of votes in favor of authorizing a strike.

While teams fold, the USL is cashing expansion fees.
A privately owned league without revenue-sharing, the USL has an incentive to keep expanding without fully vetting new owners.

While there is still confusion in the air, we're now hearing from multiple affected parties that the draft idea will not proceed, and players will hit free agency with three months of severance pay. But with 12 days remaining in preseason, most rosters are all but full at this point.
NEWSLETTER: Jacksonville has been a mystery this winter, but we learned a lot about their intentions in a Saturday friendly against Charleston.
I over-analyze that, plus looks at Madisonโs rebuild and the Super League weekend.

BREAKING: per multiple sources, South Georgia Tormenta will not be fielding a team in 2026. Signed players to enter a draft, or take severance pay.
Per sources, South Georgia Tormenta won't be participating in the 2026 USL League One season, and that's creating an unprecedented situation for the league. I dig into the troubles that came to a head in Statesboro and what that means for the USL.
