All statistics correct as of September 25, 2016. |
The 2016 USL season was the sixth season of the United Soccer League and the twenty-second season of USSF sanctioned Division III play organized by the United Soccer Leagues.
On August 6, 2015, the league announced that the season would consist of 30 games rather than 28 games played from 2013–2015. [2] This was the first increase in the number of games since the league went from 24 games per season in 2012 to 28 games in 2013.
The league expanded from 24 to 29 teams in 2016. [3] Six franchises were officially announced by the league: Swope Park Rangers, Orlando City B, [4] Rio Grande Valley FC, [5] FC Cincinnati, [6] Bethlehem Steel FC, [7] and San Antonio FC. [8] The Austin Aztex were on hiatus for the 2016 season, due to stadium availability issues, but planned to return in 2017 pending construction of a new, soccer-specific stadium. [9]
The Real Monarchs played three home games at other sites while Rio Tinto Stadium was being resurfaced: Aces Ballpark in Reno, Nevada, Clyde Field at Utah Valley University and Ute Soccer Field at The University of Utah in Salt Lake City.
Rio Grande Valley FC Toros played their first three games at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley Soccer Complex while their stadium was being completed.
The September 7 game between New York Red Bulls II and Harrisburg City Islanders was played at Pucillo Field at Millersville University in Millersville, Pennsylvania.
There are 11 USL teams owned and operated by MLS clubs and 9 USL-MLS affiliations among the 29 USL clubs. [10]
The two relationship types are treated the same by Major League Soccer. [11]

All statistics correct as of September 25, 2016. |
The 2016 USL season was the sixth season of the United Soccer League and the twenty-second season of USSF sanctioned Division III play organized by the United Soccer Leagues.
On August 6, 2015, the league announced that the season would consist of 30 games rather than 28 games played from 2013–2015. [2] This was the first increase in the number of games since the league went from 24 games per season in 2012 to 28 games in 2013.
The league expanded from 24 to 29 teams in 2016. [3] Six franchises were officially announced by the league: Swope Park Rangers, Orlando City B, [4] Rio Grande Valley FC, [5] FC Cincinnati, [6] Bethlehem Steel FC, [7] and San Antonio FC. [8] The Austin Aztex were on hiatus for the 2016 season, due to stadium availability issues, but planned to return in 2017 pending construction of a new, soccer-specific stadium. [9]
