On December 22, 2021, U.S. Soccer announced the final format for the 2022 tournament, with two major changes from prior editions. First, all eligible Division II and Division III professional teams will enter in the second round. Second,Major League Soccerwill have its entry staggered: Seventeen MLS teams will enter in the Third Round, and the remaining eight teams (the four playing in the2022 CONCACAF Champions League,and the next highest two teams in both the Eastern and Western Conferences) will enter in the Round of 32.[4]

For the first time since2017,multiple leagues from the same division competed in the Open Cup.USL League One,of Division III, competed alongside teams fromMLS Next Proand theNational Independent Soccer Association(NISA). NISA was set to make its Open Cup debut in 2020, before that tournament was canceled; MLS Next Pro was established in 2021, and while primarily a developmental league for MLS teams, its independent clubs are eligible for the Open Cup.

Atlanta United FCwas the defending champion, when Atlanta won the2019tournament, but was eliminated in the Round of 32 byNashville SC.

Orlando City SCwon their first Open Cup title, defeatingSacramento Republic FC3–0 in thefinal.

Open Cup debuts

edit

31 teams will be playing in their first Open Cup tournament in 2022.

Format

edit

Draws

edit
  • No team who was playing their first Open Cup match was paired with another team also playing their first Open Cup match. An exception was made if there were no other teams that were geographically close in order to prevent excess travel.[3]
  • Random pairings were done in cases where three or more teams were from the same general area.[3]
  • In cases where a geographical fit didn't exist, a random selection occurred.[3]
  • Pairings between clubs and their parent clubs, clubs with shared ownership, or other clubs using the same technical resources was avoided in geographic selections and random pairings until the final. For 2022, these pairings included:Los Angeles FC(MLS) andLas Vegas Lights(USLC),Portland Timbers(MLS) andPortland Timbers U23(USL2),Chattanooga Red Wolves SC(USL1) andPark City Red Wolves SC(USL2).[3]

Matches

edit
  • Single-game-knockout format with two 45-minute halves and stoppage time.[3]
  • Tied matches are sent to two 15-minute extra time halves with stoppage time.[3]
  • Matches tied after extra time will be settled with a penalty shootout.[3]
  • Home teams are determined by a random selection among teams that apply to host. Teams that meet minimum tournament standards will be given priority over others in their pairing.[3]
  • Five substitutions during regulation time over three substitution windows and halftime.[3]
  • One extra substitution added during extra time. This substitution can be made at the end of regulation, over an additional substitution window, or at extra time halftime.[3]
  • Up to two extra substitutions over two extra substitution windows will be available in the case of a concussion. If a team uses this concussion substitution, the opposing team gains an additional substitution and substitution window.[3]

First and Second rounds

edit

In the First round, teams (local,National Amateur Cup,NPSL,&USL2) were paired in a geographical manner, pitting teams closer together against each other. Once the First round pairings were made those pairings were matched with a Division II (USLC) or a Division III (MLS Next Pro,NISA,orUSL1) team in a geographical manner for the Second round. Division II & III teams that remained unmatched were matched together, again geographically, avoiding any same-division matching (e.g., no II vs II or III vs III).[3]

The complete draw for the First round, including match dates and times, was announced on February 2, 2022.[8]Draws for the Second round were announced on February 11; match dates and times were announced on February 28.[9][10]

Third round

edit

The winners of the second round and the new entrants to the tournament were grouped geographically into groups of four (12 groups) or six (eight groups), depending on the distribution of teams after the second round. Division I (MLS) teams entering the tournament were spread among the groups as evenly as possible (groups of four: five groups with two and seven groups with one MLS team; groups of six: one group with three and seven groups with two MLS teams). All MLS teams faced a lower-division team. Random selection for each group determined the pairs. Instances where geographical fit didn't exist when creating groups was resolved by random selection.[3]
