List of soccer clubs in the United States
This is a list of soccer clubs in the United States. For clarity, teams based outside the United States that play in USSF-recognized leagues are also listed below with their home country noted.
Five professional leagues of men's soccer teams are sanctioned by the Professional Division of the United States Soccer Federation (USSF or U.S. Soccer). The top-level men's league is Major League Soccer (MLS) and the second level men's league is the USL Championship. The third level men's leagues are USL League One, the National Independent Soccer Association, and MLS Next Pro. At the semi-professional level, the USL League Two and the National Premier Soccer League have teams.
Two professional women's soccer leagues are sanctioned by U.S. Soccer, both at the top level— the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL), which has operated since 2013, and the USL Super League (USLS), which started play in the 2024–25 season. While the NWSL and all professional men's leagues (as of 2024) in the United States play in the summer, USLS plays in the winter, matching the international calendar.[1] At the semi-professional level, the USL W League has teams.
