US Club Soccer announces 2026 National Cup dates and locations

CHARLESTON, S.C. – 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.
