2023 U.S. OPEN CUP PURSE

The 2023 U.S. Open Cup winner will earn $300,000 in prize money, a berth in the 2024 Concacaf Champions League and have its name engraved on the Dewar Challenge Trophy - one of the oldest nationally-contested trophies in American team sports - now on permanent display at the National Soccer Hall of Fame in Frisco, Texas.

HOW ROUND OF 32 MATCHUPS WERE DETERMINED

Teams were pooled geographically into groups of four, with the Division I clubs first entering the competition and any teams who are precluded from playing each other until the Final being placed in different groups. A random draw determined the pairings within each group. Instances where a logical geographic fit didn't exist in determining the groups were resolved by random selection.

THE PATH AHEAD

The business end of the 2023 Open Cup will round into view as the 16 winners from the Round of 32 will square off in late May. A draw to determine Round of 16 hosts and matchups will be held following the conclusion of Round of 32 play. U.S. Soccer will announce details for the Draw at a later date.

May 9-10: Round of 32

May 23-24: Round of 16
