FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - The New England Revolution Academy's Under-18, Under-16, and Under-15 teams travel to Texas this week to compete in the 2026 MLS NEXT Flex tournament at Toyota Soccer Center from April 23-25. The Revolution will kick off group play on Thursday, as all three teams look to secure their berth in the 2026 MLS NEXT Cup.

MLS NEXT Flex presented by Allstate represents the final qualifying competition for the 2026 MLS NEXT Cup. Teams in each age group are split into groups of four and are seeded based on their performance in league matches from September 2025 to March 2026. The winner of each group will automatically clinch a spot in the 2026 MLS NEXT Cup.

The U-18s are set to face Barca Residency Academy, Vardar Soccer Club, and the Portland Timbers in Group P competition. Last Saturday at New York City FC, New England posted a dominant 5-0 shutout win, highlighted by forward Cristiano Carlos (2008 - Chicopee, Mass.) netting a brace and adding an assist. Between the pipes, goalkeepers Ryker Fauth (2009 - Milford, Mass.) and Evan Johnson (2010 - Ada, Mich.) split time to preserve the U-18's fourth shutout of the season.

The U-16s, who have gone undefeated in 10 of their last 11 games, will compete in Group M action against PA Classics, Wake FC, and the Portland Timbers. Last weekend, the Revolution claimed a 3-1 win over NYCFC, headlined by a goal-and-assist performance from midfielder Logan Azar (2010 - Hudson, Mass.). Forwards Matthew Jean Baptiste (2010 - Montvale, N.J.) and Lucas Pereira (2010 - East Merrimack, N.H.) also got on the scoresheet to cap the Revolution's tallies.

The U-15s round out the New England sides competing in the tournament, facing Real Futbol Academy, Sockers FC Chicago, and the Portland Timbers in Group S. Last time out, the Revolution collected a 3-1 victory at NYCFC, with forward Musah Adamu (2011 - Manchester, Conn.) distributing two assists, while Andrew Hsu (2011 - Boston, Mass.), Asher Bremser (2012 - Arlington, Mass.), and Arthur Bernardino (2011 - Shirley, Mass.) all found the back of the net.
