Each team plays 32-34 matches over the course of the season (including preseason and playoffs). At the end of the regular season, the top eight teams in each of the Eastern and Western Conferences qualify for the playoffs. The playoff structure consists of four rounds: the single-elimination conference quarterfinals, semifinals and finals. The conference champions battle for the League Championship in a single match final hosted by the higher-seeded team.\n\nThe 2019 season holds many of the same popular teams such as: LA Galaxy II, Phoenix Rising FC, and Sacramento Republic FC from the Western Conference; as well as FC Cincinnati, Louisville City FC, and Ottawa Fury FC from the Eastern Conference.
