USL Jägermeister Cup

This matchup is the first in the USL’s new Jagermeister Cup, a World Cup-style tournament that will feature all 38 professional clubs in USL Championship and League One. Hartford has been placed in Group 4 which consists of Rhode Island, Pittsburgh, and Detroit from the Championship and Portland and Westchester from League One. Hartford will play Westchester, Detroit and Rhode Island in pool play and the winner of the pool, plus two wild cards, will advance to the knockout stage. A win earns 3 points, a loss earns 0 and a tie earns 1 – but if tied at the end of regulation, we will go directly to a penalty shootout to determine who takes home an extra point.
