MLS Back in US Open Cup | MLS News

All 27 MLS teams are back in the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup for 2027, kicking off in July with priority hosting and expanded rosters of 20 players — blending first-team stars, MLS NEXT Pro, and academy talent. This move aligns with MLS’s new summer-to-spring schedule and aims to unify soccer levels while offering a path to the Concacaf Champions Cup. With an MLS club winning every US Open Cup since 2000, expect fierce competition as they chase history — and the trophy — in a tournament that’s been around since 1913.
