2025 USL JAGERMEISTER CUP
The 2025 USL Jägermeister Cup kicks off Friday with the second edition of the in-season tournament having expanded to feature all 38 clubs across the USL Championship and League One.
The 2025 tournament represents a significant milestone for domestic soccer, as it marks the first time a U.S. soccer league has established its own interleague cup.
Adding more meaningful matches to the annual calendar, the USL Jägermeister Cup includes fan-first modifications to encourage attacking soccer, such as penalty shootouts to determine match winners during the group stage and goals scored as the first tiebreaker in the group standings.
The USL Jägermeister Cup consists of six regional groups with six or seven teams assigned by league or conference affiliation per group. Each team will play four matches – two home, two away – in group play with home assignments being randomly drawn. The group stage kicks off Friday and concludes the weekend of July 26.
After the group stage, a draw will set the matchups for the single-elimination knockout rounds, which will begin three weeks later. The USL Jägermeister Cup will conclude with the Final the weekend of Oct. 4.
More information about the USL Jägermeister Cup will be shared throughout the tournament on dedicated social media channels at USL Jägermeister Cup on X, Facebook, and Instagram.

BRUNO’S BACK AFTER JAGERMEISTER CUP CHAMPIONSHIP
Defender Bruno Rendon helped the Northern Colorado Hailstorm FC win the inaugural USL Jägermeister Cup in 2024 by leading all players with nine goals in eight appearances in the competition.
The 2024 USL League One “Defender of the Year” scored the Hailstorm’s only goal in regulation in the final vs. Forward Madison FC, setting the stage for his team to win its first-ever trophy in penalty kicks.
MURPHY BROTHERS MEET IN THE MIDFIELD
Midfielder James Murphy and younger brother John Murphy are on opposite sides in Saturday’s matchup in Madison.
Murphy is one of four Indy Eleven players to have been on the pitch for all 450 minutes this season, joining Pat Hogan, James Musa, and Hunter Sulte.
The 27-year-old Murphy became the sixth player on the current Boys in Blue roster to reach the 10,000-minute mark in USLC play on April 5 vs. North Carolina FC.
Murphy is tied for sixth in the USLC in interceptions (9) and he also leads the team in tackles won (9).
The Scotch Plains, New Jersey, native is in his seventh season in the league after beginning his career at Sheffield Wednesday in England.
