MLS NEXT II
City SC Utah is excited to announce that we will be joining MLS NEXT’s new competition tier this fall!
“We are thrilled to announce our club’s official acceptance into the highly competitive second tier of MLS NEXT. This achievement marks a significant step forward in our commitment to developing elite youth soccer players. Joining MLS NEXT 2 provides our athletes with unparalleled opportunities to compete at the highest level, facing top-tier competition from across the region and the nation. This platform will significantly enhance our players’ development, offering them exposure to professional-level training and competition, and creating a clear pathway to collegiate and professional soccer. We are incredibly proud of this accomplishment and look forward to the exciting opportunities that lie ahead for our players and the club as a whole.” – Director of Coaching Dennis Burrows
In the expanded tier of MLS NEXT, clubs will participate in one of eight regional tournaments each season in addition to the option for eligible age groups to attend MLS NEXT Fest in December. The regional tournaments will serve as qualifying for a championship event at MLS NEXT Cup later in 2026. These events will be marquee talent identification opportunities for college, professional, and national team scouts to evaluate players. Players competing in the new tier will also be eligible to play high school soccer
