Inter Miami FC, New England Revolution launch USL League One teams

TAMPA, Fla. – USL League One announced today that Inter Miami CF and the New England Revolution will launch League One teams and begin play during the 2020 season.

“We’re thrilled to have Inter Miami CF and the New England Revolution join League One,” said USL Senior Vice President Steven Short. “It’s exciting to watch our league as it continues to grow in both size and intensity. We’re already looking forward to our second year of competition and know that both of these clubs will be tremendous additions to our league.”

Inter Miami is Major League Soccer’s 25th club, set to begin play in March of 2020. The club is led by owner and President of Soccer Operations David Beckham, lead managing owner Jorge Mas, and Sporting Director Paul McDonough.

In addition to winning the U.S. Open Cup in 2007, the Revolution have participated in five MLS Cups, with its most recent appearance coming in 2014. New England has qualified for the 2019 MLS Cup Playoffs under the leadership of newly appointed Sporting Director and Head Coach Bruce Arena who will oversee the League One side in conjunction with Technical Director Curt Onalfo

Miami and New England join Union Omaha SC as expansion clubs that will begin play in League One’s second season. Both clubs plan to unveil the names, Head Coaches, and crests of their League One teams later this year.
