Look, if it's still BeIN, cool, if it's not then "broadcast and streaming arrangement similar to fall" has a different meaning, but we all know NISA likes to keep it hush-hush until the official press release statement.
U.S. Open Cup @opencup 1h Both @NewtownPrideFC of CT & FC Golden State Force @FCGSForce of @USLLeagueTwo will represent the amateur Open Division at #USOC2021
Nah they just like to leave out the whole having fans thing over at NISA. Prevents any fan relations issues.
Official k.o. date is weekend of May 8th but USL L1 governors gave teams the option to start their season as early as April 10th depending on local conditions. https://www.uslleagueone.com/news_article/show/1142410
https://www.frontrowsoccer.com/2021/04/20/looking-ahead-usl-championship-announces-playoff-format/ USL Championship announced Tuesday its playoff structure for the 2021 season, which will feature 16 teams when the regular season concludes in the last weekend of October.
A new agreement with ESPN International will bring the USL into millions of homes in 55 territories across South America, Central America and the Caribbean.
SBI Soccer @SBISoccer 50m DeAndre Yedlin has joined the ownership group of #USL side San Diego Loyal.
I imagine that some of those Deportes games will also be featured by one of ESPN's other channels, depending on gridiron and NHL schedules.

From a USL source: "The Rhinos will not be participating in the Championship or League One next season."— Bob Williams (@WilliamsBob75) June 15, 2021
Bob Williams says they're almost certainly not going NISA, if the plan is to go pro in 2022, that only leaves MiLS. Jeff Reuter says that playing in USL2 in 2022 is fairly likely while they wait to see what shakes out between the three D3 leagues.
MiLS though? Has it even been determined what form that's going to take, and they're an outside team, not MLS owned, but is he banking on MLS helping foot the bill?
Well, everything about MiLS is speculation at this point. My guess is that Reuter is right and they’re starting back up in USL2 and trying to maintain relevance with Flower City Union starting up next spring.
