Capital region based

For the 2026 Inaugural Season, the UPL will be hosting teams within the 4 surrounding counties of New York States Capital.

Albany, Rensselaer, Saratoga and Schenectady.

This radius will limit the distance for clubs away matches to less than a 1 hour drive, in the most extreme cases.

Creating a more organized soccer pyramid in the U.S. starts at the grassroots level. We believe the UPL could be a driving force in a New York State Wide Pro/Rel System.
