The San Francisco Bay Area missed out on hosting the biggest world soccer stars like Lionel Messi or Christino Ronaldo for the 2026 FIFA World Cup games at Levi’s Stadium. Instead, it will host smaller countries like Qatar, Austria, Jordan, and Paraguay. www.soccerbayarea.com/2025/12/05/h...

San Ramon had to not only beat The Olympic Club, but also conquer the foggy conditions to advance to the 2026 US Open Cup @opencup.ussoccer.com www.soccerbayarea.com/2025/11/24/s...

With everything on the line, it would take a moment of brilliance to decide the @nwslsoccer.com title game between @gothamfc.bsky.social and @washingtonspirit.com and that’s what happened. www.soccerbayarea.com/2025/11/23/n...

That about sums up this USL Championship game perfectly. Riverhounds score 1 goal in 4 playoff games and win the title. Negative soccer at its finest.

Opinion: Bay FC may be San Francisco's best chance to finally have a first division pro soccer team @bayfc.com #forthebay www.soccerbayarea.com/2025/08/24/b...

Bay FC continue to come up short against the NWSL's best teams. Albertin Montoya and players spoke about it after their loss to the San Diego Wave. Being tactically flexible is great, but eventually, you need to excel at something. @soccerbayarea 👇 www.soccerbayarea.com/2025/08/17/b...

there is only one reason you should watch and that’s because Hartford > Rhode Island. (No but seriously, if you want to get into American soccer that’s not MLS I HIGHLY recommend tuning in. This isn’t me being a biased Hartford fan, it really shows that the USL is much better than MLS)
