2020 U.S. Open Cup Second Round Pairings and Host Scenarios

January 29, 2020

U.S. Soccer has determined the pairings and possible pairings for the Second Round of the 2020 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup with 25 Division II and 14 Division III pro teams facing 19 First Round winners and each other April 7-9 in the 107th edition of U.S. Soccer's National Championship.

The 39 professional teams include 25 from the USL Championship (Division II), eight from the recently sanctioned National Independent Soccer Association (Division III) and six from the second-year USL League One (Division III). They will be joined in the Second Round by the 19 Open Division winners from the First Round, set for March 24-25.

As a result of competition parameters for the Second Round, 15 of the 29 matchups will see First Round winners against Division II clubs, four First Round winners taking on Division III sides, while Division II vs. Division III will be on the marquee for 10 contests. Competition rules for the Second Round require First Round winners to be paired against either a Division II or Division III club. Further, the tournament has a universal provision to preclude teams from the same qualifying pool playing their first Open Cup game from facing each other. Each pro division is considered a unique qualifying pool regardless of the number of leagues in the division.

Pairings were made on a geographical basis within the parameters listed above. If three or more teams/pairings were from the same proximity, matchups for these teams were made by random selection. Instances where a logical geographic fit did not exist were resolved by random selection.

  • READ: Record-Setting 100 Teams, Slot Allocation Confirmed

Eleven lower-seeded U.S.-based Division I Major League Soccer clubs will enter in the Third Round, which will be played April 21-23, while the remaining 12 MLS sides will take the field in their first Open Cup action in the Round of 32, which takes place May 19-20.

Home teams for each round are determined by random selection among those who apply to host. Clubs whose venue meets minimum tournament standards are given priority.
