Announced yesterday by the team, DC Power's away match against Brooklyn FC, originally scheduled for April 18th, has been moved up to March 7th. Kickoff will be at 2pm ET.

It's genuinely pretty sad, what's happening to Tormenta. Their owner really didn't do anything wrong. He's a local guy, who wanted to do something special and meaningful in his community. The academy is great. This is just how hard it is to run lower-league soccer here. It's brutal financially.

First starting XI of the season for DCU against Philadelphia Union.

And that's why the USLC is fighting so hard for extended compensation in the event a team folds. Players are completely fucked two weeks before a season - most clubs are done with their roster buildouts, good luck finding nearly 20 roster spots across the league.

Lot of smoke seeming like fire around Tormenta FC folding two weeks before the USL League One season. Just brutal. Looking briefly through the current CBA for L1, it seems like non-'for cause' terminations require paying 45-days of salary within 14 days of termination. That's all players get.

And, by the way, this would also mean that FC America CFL Spurs of the UPSL would reach the second round of the USOC due to Tormenta forfeiting. CC: @thecup.us

Sharing this here since Christos hasn’t jumped to Bluesky. Larry Sancomb, the general manager and a major part of Christos FC, has been diagnosed with ALS. Christos is one of the biggest, most influential programs in Maryland soccer. Wishing him all the best I can. @districtpressdc.bsky.social

Luigi Mangione’s cousin, Peter, signs deal with Brooklyn FC.

CONMEBOL is appealing the FIFA Peace Prize.

It's the smart thing for the league to do. It's also the right thing to do. This is a pivotal moment in time for the league and I'm hoping it can meet it, but I am skeptical they will. They seem to care more about flash and fake promises than players thriving and building something sustainable

It's in USL's best interests to cave in here. The longer this continues, the more the public who may or may not have a strong opinion on USL look at the league as yet another house of cards in sports, like the USFL or NASL back in the day. Can't have growth without investment.

USL talks a big game but seems destined to fail because it isn't substantively professional. Expanding too quickly, not vetting the financial stability of prospective teams, and forgetting that the players are professionals without which the league does not exist to revolutionize soccer in America

Several teams, including @indyeleven.bsky.social do not have dedicated homes of their own, as well. How can we compete at higher levels and standards if we don’t have the infrastructure to support those standards?

And my big fear. I’m not saying MLS is an answer to American soccer. I love the grassroots of USL, and am a supporter of a USL Championship team, but to establish legitimacy, we absolutely need the USL to step up their game on how they treat and compensate players.

USL Has Little Leverage In Continued CBA Negotiations With Championship Players Association. Seriously, what are we waiting for? medium.com/the-union-re... #usl #uslchampionship #soccer #futbol #footy #sports

Portland Hearts of Pine have done it again! Based on the West Quoddy Lighthouse and a nod to US Soccer history. What are y'alls thoughts on the new Lighthouse Kit??

Live in five to talk about the expiry of the current USL Championship CBA and reflect on the year that was!

USL Players Call for Livable Wages as CBA Deadline Passes USL Championship players issued a forceful open letter urging the league to improve wages, benefits, and professional standards as CBA negotiations stall. Citing low pay, lack of insurance, and seasonal contracts, players call on USL…

I am hearing there has been progress in USL labor negotiations and that there are more talk plan between now and the day the CBA formally expires on December 31. Sticking points remain over Health Care, base compensation and licensing fees.

Loudoun United FC is establishing a reserve team in #USL-2 in 2026, adding to the club's #USL-C squad and pathway into the professional ranks from Virginia Revolution Soccer Club. www.uslleaguetwo.com/news_article...

Loudoun United has a reserve team before DC United does...

Fort Lauderdale United confirms what was widely assumed at this point - pivoting to 2027 "allowing additional time to reinforce its foundation across player development, facilities, and community programming." Sporting Cascades expected to make a similar announcement shortly.

I like that Loudoun is also fielding a team in USL2 furthering their pathway to pro pipeline.

Donald Trump is a racist and supporting him makes you a racist.

Thomas Müller on facing Lionel Messi again, this time in MLS Cup: “That’s the past, that’s history. I want to keep going for sure. I know about my games against Messi, but I’ve also lost against him. It’s not about Messi versus Thomas Müller, it’s Miami against the Whitecaps."

On November 4, USL Championship club North Carolina FC announced it would shut down operations at the end of the season - just four days before a crucial playoff game. I talked to some of the players about the human cost of seeing your team fold www.goal.com/en-us/lists/...

Although mostly grassroots, there's incredible working being done by USL content creators all over. This is a call to make a concerted effort daily to watch vids, read articles, like and repost social media. Help these creators feel seen and appreciated! So many are doing the Lord's work!

As the USL enters a new era—launching Division One and inching toward promotion and relegation—its relationship with the players driving that growth has become its most visible tension. A routine CBA negotiation has spilled into stadiums, supporter sections, and the USL Championship Final itself.

In case you were worried USL would be any less pathetic than MLS when it comes to CBA negotiations

Usl wants to REALLY die on that hill. the players deserve the basic necessities

Those shirts and these signs from supporters of the two teams which were cut from the CBS broadcast very clearly rankled people at USL HQ if they had to go to those lengths bsky.app/profile/kick...

This post by the USLPA needs to be seen and read. The league withheld the materials from the USL Championship trophy celebration in retaliation for the players walking out in their USLPA shirts along with cutting out broadcast angles with that message. www.instagram.com/p/DRcyNEdkhPs/

Alright y'all, it is time for the yearly black Friday sales thread! Following along for any and all sales across the USL for Black Friday 🧵

This is why USL D1 will fail.

Absolutely disgusting by the USL. @unionomaha.bsky.social, I hope all clubs are calling this behavior out. This could have been our championship moment taken away simply by our players seeking to have their voices heard and seeking better standards. This is cowardly BS USL HQ.
