After reviewing feedback and data, US Youth Soccer and US Club Soccer have decided to move to a new age group cycle that runs from August 1 to July 31, starting in the 2026–27 season. This change helps better align players with their school-grade classmates and is intended to be more inclusive and increase participation.
The August 1–July 31 age group cycle will be used for all US Youth Soccer league and Cup competitions beginning in 2026–27, including: • National Championships • Presidents Cup • National League
