Dates, locations of 2026 National Cup Regionals & Finals announced

usclubsoccer.org/nationalcup

CHARLESTON, S.C. (Sept. 4, 2025) – The National Cup, US Club Soccer’s cup-based championship series, celebrates its 25th edition next summer. Four 2026 National Cup Regionals will take place in June, and the prestigious National Cup Finals spans July 17-24 in Denver, Colorado.

State cups, hosted by member leagues and partners around the country, also play into the annual National Cup format, as they offer qualifying pathways to Regionals and Finals. Those state championship competitions take place in the fall and/or spring, depending on local scheduling.

The National Cup Finals will again stagger its play dates between boys and girls teams to accommodate about 250 qualified teams across U-13 through U-19 age groups. The boys competition is July 17-21, and the girls play July 20-24. DICK’S Sporting Goods Park has hosted US Club Soccer members competing for championships – including the National Cup Finals and NPL Finals – since 2019. The expansive complex features 25 fields, including two turf, which surround the home of Major League Soccer’s Colorado Rapids.

Mark your calendars: Registration for all 2026 National Cup Regionals will open Jan. 5, and teams will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. Open to U-13 through U-19 boys and girls age groups, the competition series features Super Group (most competitive) and Premier Group divisions. Champions from Regionals and qualifying state cups earn advancement to the National Cup Finals.

Because many state cup competitions are held prior to Regionals, state cup participating teams may also decide to compete in the Regional closest to them for a second chance at qualifying to the National Cup Finals, should they not earn direct advancement through their respective state cup.
