Understand the UPL

The league format for the 2026 Inaugural Season will be determined by the final number of teams.
Assuming we reach our goal of 6 teams, here’s how it would look:
- Each team plays 10 regular-season games (5 home and 5 away)
- Games are full 90-minutes plus stoppage time under FIFA rules.
- 3 Referee System (Home team is responsible for payment)
- Teams are awarded 3-points for a win, 1-point for a draw, and 0 for a loss.
- At the end of the regular season, each team’s place in the table will determine their semi-final playoff seeding (1v4, 2v3)
- The 5th and 6th-place teams will be eliminated from the playoffs.
- The winners of the semi-final compete in the UPL final for the league title.
The UPL is a summer-based league. The projected league schedule for 2026 would run from mid-May to Early August.
This schedule is designed to align with college soccer schedules. Allowing for clubs to have their college players available during the season.
That is up to you! The UPL requires all teams to manage their own home games (~5 games). This includes:
- Field Rental (Insured)
- Field preparation
  - Scoreboard management
  - Corner flags
  - Visible lines
- 3 Referees (Home team pays full referee fee)
This means that when teams are playing away, their only job for that match is to be on-time and prepared to play.
The UPL is an Adult league. So players can be any age, as long as they’re properly registered.
Rosters are usually 18–30, but:
- High-level 17-year-olds sometimes play
- Active 30+ players would fit in as well.
The UPL is well-designed for
- College players in offseason
- Post-college players looking to compete
- Young players looking to grow their game
