How It Works

Each group consists of six clubs from the USL Championship and League One, except Group 7, which consists of seven clubs.

The seven group winners will advance to the knockout round. Additionally, one second-place club will advance, determined by the most points in group play. Goals scored serves as the first tiebreaker.
