Last season, Republic FC advanced to the Fourth Round of the tournament, but fell to MLS-side San Jose Earthquakes, 4-3. In previous years, Republic FC reached the Round of 16 - the club's best showing - by defeating Fourth Round opponents, MLS sides Real Salt Lake (2017) and Seattle Sounders FC (2018.) Both years, the club's tournament run was ended with away matches at the hands of Los Angeles' MLS clubs - LA Galaxy in 2017 and LAFC in 2018.

Last year, Oakland Roots kicked off its inaugural season in the National Independent Soccer Association, the third division of professional soccer in the United States. The club finished the fall season with a 0-3-3 record.

Founded in 1914 and entering its 107th year, the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup - U.S. Soccer's National Championship - is the oldest ongoing domestic soccer competition in the U.S. and the third-longest continuously running open soccer tournament in the world. The single-game, knockout tournament is open to all professional and amateur teams affiliated with U.S. Soccer. The winner of the 2020 U.S. Open Cup will receive $300,000 in prize money, a berth in the 2021 Concacaf Champions League and have its name engraved on one of the oldest nationally-contested trophies in American sports. The full schedule and more information are available on the U.S. Open cup website.
