USL to launch new professional league with promotion/relegation

Post by todd-parker »

United Soccer League to add new top division soccer league to compete with the MLS. USL will also add a promotion/relegation system between the new top league and 2 lesser divisions.

Will be interesting to see how this affects the MLS. Perhaps a new cup tournament between the two leagues in the future?

Do we really need another Division 1 league?

It won't affect MLS at all.

And the US Open Cup already has USL and MLS teams.

What makes you believe they WILL compete with MLS?
