Headlines: USL Announces Framework for Pro/Rel

The Athletic:

The United Soccer League will announce Tuesday that its new first-division professional league will be named USL Premier, completing the top of its three-tier pyramid. The plan is for the USL to launch the single-table national league in 2028, with the plan to grow the league eventually to 20 teams. It is likely that USL Premier will launch with 12 or 14 teams. The launch of the new first-division league will coincide with the introduction of promotion and relegation.
