The revenue-sharing agreement between the USL and its clubs is the latest example of the league changing how it does business. I dig into the evolving approach that’s taking the USL into a new era. 🔗 www.backheeled.com/usl-revenue-...

It's very unusual for a player of this profile to break through at this age from a USL club. He's a classic half space dribbler, which is a useful piece for any team. I wonder how long he'll spend in USL

19-year-old Ty Collins has been incredibly important for Naples’ playoff push, and the kid is a stat nerd’s dream between the box touches and progressive carries. Super exciting to see him breakout out of nowhere.

ROOTS?!

Genuinely heartbroken for Fort Wayne, man

Absolute arrow by Andres Ferrin to give FC Naples its sixth consecutive victory to end the season. As of now, they're the No. 8 seed in the #USL-1 Playoffs, Fort Wayne FC has to rally against Athletic Club Boise to take the spot away.

1) Lose this game 2) bring Eamon Zayed home 3) ??? 4) profit

COLTON SWAN

It's all happening in the #USL-C and #USL-1. Tune in on ESPN+ and CBS Sports Golazo Network as everything gets decided.

Another historic moment for the Charlotte Independence this season - Jon Bakero records his 18th assist of the regular season. Bakero's now recorded more assists in a season than any player across #USL-C or #USL-1 since 2011, surpassing Solomon Asante's 17 for Phoenix Rising FC in 2019.

OK, here we go for the final day of the #USL-C regular season. Three postseason sports available, six teams alive, some scenarios via graphics. Get the full picture -> www.uslchampionship.com/news_article...

Big game tonight in the Gainbridge Super League as third-placed Lexington SC hosts second-placed Sporting Club Jacksonville. After Carolina Ascent dropped points last night, the winner here gets to cut the gap to the frontrunners. Take a look ahead -> www.gainbridgesuperleague.com/news/2026/10...
