U.S. Soccer announced full details surrounding the 2025 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Round of 16 schedule set to take place on Tuesday, May 20, and Wednesday, May 21.

The Round of 16 is dominated by teams from Division I Major League Soccer, which put a record 15 representatives into the round. Only one survivor remains from the lower divisions, with Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC set to carry the torch for the USL Championship (Division II) in a Keystone State showdown at Philadelphia Union. Regional rivalries abound in the eight-game slate, which includes another intra-state affair in Texas (Austin FC/FC Dallas), battles for supremacy in the southeast (D.C. United/Charlotte FC and Orlando City SC/Nashville SC), and niceties being discarded in the Midwest (Minnesota United FC/St. Louis CITY SC).

The Round of 16 matchups are an extension of the draw that took place in advance of the Round of 32, which placed teams into four-team groups and established a priority hosting order for the Round of 16.

Groups were formed to avoid league schedule conflicts and allow two rest days between league and Cup matches. If three or more teams/pairings were from the same proximity, pairings for these teams were made by random selection. Any teams who are precluded from playing each other until the Final were not paired.
