CHICAGO(April 12, 2017) - U.S. Soccer announced Wednesday the pairings and host scenarios for the First and Second Rounds of the 2017 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. The First Round, which will commence with one game on May 9 followed by 27 matches on May 10, marks the opening stage of the tournament for 21 Premier Development League (PDL) teams, 18 National Premier Soccer League (NPSL) sides, and 17 Open Division local qualifiers. The Second Round follows on May 16-17 and introduces six North American Soccer League (NASL) teams and 18 United Soccer League (USL) clubs.
Home teams are determined by a random selection process among those clubs that have applied to host and whose venues meet the minimum tournament requirements.
First Round May 9-10 (PDL, NPSL, Open Division clubs enter)
Second Round May 16-17 (NASL and USL clubs enter)
Third Round May 31 (Winners of 26 Second Round games play each other)
Fourth Round June 14* (Major League Soccer clubs enter)
Round of 16 June 28* (matches determined by Round of 16 Draw on June 15)
Quarterfinals July 11 (window of July 7-16 available for consideration)
Semifinals Aug. 9
Final Sept. 20
Games in this round may be moved up a day
In other news, the Open Cup Committee has determined the teams that are not permitted to be matched to each other throughout the tournament (e.g. a non-professional Open Division team and a parent club; a team who receives material technical support from another club) except in the unlikely event that both sides reach the Final. These pairings are: Jacksonville Armada (NASL) and Jacksonville Armada U-23 (NPSL); OKC Energy (USL) and OKC Energy U23 (PDL); San Jose Earthquakes (MLS) and Reno 1868 FC (USL); Seattle Sounders FC (MLS) and Sounders FC U-23 (PDL). Professional teams who are majority-owned or otherwise controlled by higher division professional clubs are expressly excluded from Open Cup competition.
This year's winning team will receive $250,000, a berth in the 2019 CONCACAF Champions' League and have its name engraved on the historic Dewar Challenge Trophy, one of the oldest nationally contested trophies in American team sports. The runner-up will earn $60,000, while the team that advances the furthest from each lower division will take home a $15,000 cash prize.
FC Dallas is the defending U.S. Open Cup champion, having earned the club’s second tournament title thanks to a 4-2 victory against the New England Revolution on Sept. 13, 2016, at a sold-out Toyota Stadium in Frisco, Texas.
The Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup, recognized as U.S. Soccer's National Club Championship, is an annual competition open to all amateur and professional soccer teams affiliated with U.S. Soccer. The tournament has crowned a champion for 103 consecutive years dating from 1914. In 1999, the competition was renamed to honor American soccer pioneer Lamar Hunt.
