The 2024 USL Cup is the first season of the USL Cup (known as the USL Jägermeister Cup for sponsorship reasons). The competition is open to all clubs in USL League One .
The 2024 edition of the USL Cup is a professional soccer tournament held between teams in USL League One .[1] Richmond Kickers chairman Rob Ukrop stated after the announcement of the USL Cup that another league had been invited to participate, but declined the opportunity.[2]
Schedule [ edit ]
The 2024 USL Cup runs concurrent with the 2024 USL League One season . The tournament will begin roughly two months into the league season and end one month before the end of the league season and start of the league playoffs.
The schedule for 2024 USL Cup group stage games was announced simultaneously with the USL League One league schedule on December 14, 2023.[3]
Prize money [ edit ]
The announcement of the USL Cup stated that the winning club would receive prize money, but did not specify the amount.[1]
Group stage [ edit ]
The group stage is to be played from April 27 to September 1. Teams were divided into three regional groups of four teams: the West Group, the Central Group, and the East Group. Teams in each group will play each other twice: one home and one away. Each team will also play two teams from other groups, once home and once away.
If a team wins in regulation, they will receive three points in the standings, while the loser will receive zero. If the game is tied at the end of regulation, a penalty kick shootout will occur; the winner will receive two points and the loser will receive one.[1]
