In a landmark decision, the United Soccer League (USL) has officially adopted a promotion and relegation system, marking the first time such a model will be implemented in American professional sports. Club owners voted overwhelmingly in favor of this new system, which is set to take effect in 2028. This move brings US soccer in line with traditional European football practices, with USL President Paul McDonough assuring that it will not pose financial risks to team owners. As excitement builds among fans and clubs alike, discussions are underway regarding the potential impact on Major League Soccer. This marks a significant turning point in American soccer, promising to reshape the landscape of the sport.
