'''USL League Two''' ('''USL2'''), formerly the '''Premier Development League''' ('''PDL'''), is an amateur/semi-professional [[association football|soccer]] league sponsored by [[United Soccer Leagues]] in the [[United States]] and [[Canada]], forming part of the [[United States soccer league system]]. The league featured 122 teams for 2023, split into eighteen regional divisions across four conferences. USL League Two is headquartered in [[Tampa]], [[Florida]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.uslpdl.com/contact|title=CONTACT|website=USL PDL|access-date=August 22, 2017}}</ref>

The [[Seacoast United Phantoms]] are the current champions, having defeated [[Peoria City (soccer)|Peoria City]] 3–2 in extra time to win the 2024 USL League Two Championship final on August 3, 2024.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.soccerjournal.com/usl-league-two-seacoast-united-phantoms-capture-first-ever-championship/ |title=USL League Two: Seacoast United Phantoms capture first-ever championship |date=August 4, 2024 |website=soccerjournal.com |publisher=New England Soccer Journal |access-date=August 28, 2024}}</ref>

==Competition format==
USL League Two is divided into 4 conferences (Eastern, Central, Southern, and Western), comprising 18 divisions. The league season runs from May through July, with the playoffs decided through July and August. All teams play a regular season schedule of 10-14 games, up to seven home and seven away, within their division, depending on the size of the division.

===Playoffs===
The USL2 playoffs see division winners and each conference's best second-place finishers advance to the conference quarter finals. All matches in the playoffs are played in single match elimination format, with each conference winner hosting a four-team conference championship weekend. The four conference champions advance to national semi-finals and the league Championship, both played at the home of the higher seed.

==History==
===1990s===
In 1995 the [[USISL|United States Interregional Soccer League]] (USISL) changed its name to the United States International Soccer League, and split into two leagues, one professional (the 'Professional League', which ultimately became the [[USL Second Division]]) and one amateur (the '''Premier League'''). The purpose for the split was to expand into and improve the [[Association football|soccer]] capabilities of many [[urban area|urban]] areas throughout the United States and Canada, while offering current [[College soccer in the United States|college soccer]] players the opportunity to continue playing during the summer months without losing their college eligibility. The inaugural season of the new USISL Premier League featured 27 teams, and the [[Richmond Kickers]] won the first title, beating the [[Cocoa Expos]] 3–1 in the championship game.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://homepages.sover.net/~spectrum/usl2.html#1995p |title=United Soccer Leagues, Part 2 (1994–1996) |publisher=Homepages.sover.net |date=February 13, 2010 |access-date=February 28, 2012 |archive-date=July 13, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130713140936/http://homepages.sover.net/~spectrum/usl2.html#1995p |url-status=dead }}</ref> [[Gabe Jones (soccer)|Gabe Jones]] of the [[Austin Lone Stars]] was the league's top scorer and MVP.

The United States International Soccer League changed its name again in 1996, to the United Systems of Independent Soccer Leagues, and before the season, there was substantial movement of teams between the Pro League, the Premier League and the newly created [[USISL Select League|Select League]] (which would later merge with the [[American Professional Soccer League|A-League]], and eventually become the [[USL First Division]]). The Premier League grew to 34 teams in its second year, with the [[Central Coast Roadrunners]] from [[San Luis Obispo, California]], beating the [[San Francisco Bay Seals]] in the championship game to take the title.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://homepages.sover.net/~spectrum/year/1996.html#USISL |title=The Year in American Soccer, 1996 |publisher=Homepages.sover.net |access-date=February 28, 2012 |archive-date=August 2, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180802181714/http://homepages.sover.net/~spectrum/year/1996.html#USISL |url-status=dead }}</ref> [[Pasi Kinturi]] of the [[Nashville Metros]] was the league's top scorer and MVP.

[[Image:Brian Ching 031508.jpg|thumb|left|[[Brian Ching]] was the PDL Rookie of the Year in 1998]]
The Premier League renamed itself the '''Premier Development Soccer League''' (PDSL) in 1997, and the [[Central Coast Roadrunners]] repeated as national champions, the first team to do so, beating the [[Cocoa Expos]] in the PDSL championship game.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://homepages.sover.net/~spectrum/usl3.html#1997pdsl |title=United Soccer Leagues, Part 3 (1997–1999) |publisher=Homepages.sover.net |date=February 13, 2010 |access-date=February 28, 2012 |archive-date=November 21, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141121170604/http://homepages.sover.net/~spectrum/usl3.html#1997pdsl |url-status=dead }}</ref> [[Lester Felicia]] of the [[Jackson Chargers]] was the league's MVP, while [[Rodrigo Costa (footballer, born 1976)|Rodrigo Costa]] of the [[Detroit Dynamite]] was the leading scorer and the league's Rookie of the Year, tallying 21 goals and 2 assists for 44 points. In 1998 the PDSL took to the field with 33 teams, including four associate members from the [[Pacific Coast Soccer League]] who played shortened schedules after their PCSL season was over. In the championship game the [[San Gabriel Valley Highlanders]] upset regular season champions [[Jackson Chargers]] 3–2, taking the trophy to California for the third straight year. [[Rodrigo Costa (footballer, born 1976)|Rodrigo Costa]] of the [[Detroit Dynamite]] was the league MVP, [[Boniventure Manati]] of the [[Jackson Chargers]] was the league's top scorer, and a young striker by the name of [[Brian Ching]] from the [[Spokane Shadow]] was named Rookie of the Year.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://homepages.sover.net/~spectrum/year/1998.html#pdsl |title=The Year in American Soccer, 1998 |publisher=Homepages.sover.net |access-date=February 28, 2012 |archive-date=November 5, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151105073631/http://homepages.sover.net/~spectrum/year/1998.html#pdsl |url-status=dead }}</ref>

In 1999 the umbrella USISL changed its name to the [[United Soccer Leagues]], and the Premier Development Soccer League dropped the 'soccer' part of its name and became known as the '''USL Premier Development League''', or PDL. The league took in several teams from the D3 Pro league, expanding to 42 teams in six divisions. Expansion franchise [[Chicago Sockers]] ultimately won the league, beating [[Spokane Shadow]] 3–1 for the title in a tight championship game. [[Fabio Eidenwein]] of the [[Sioux City Breeze]] was named League MVP and was the top scorer, with 20 goals.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://homepages.sover.net/~spectrum/year/1999.html#pdsl |title=The Year in American Soccer, 1999 |publisher=Homepages.sover.net |access-date=February 28, 2012 |archive-date=February 6, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190206171731/http://homepages.sover.net/~spectrum/year/1999.html#pdsl |url-status=dead }}</ref>

===2000s===
<!-- Deleted image removed: [[Image:Premier Development League old.png|thumb|150px|right|PDL logo used until 2010]] -->
The PDL expanded by a further eight franchises in 2000, and the [[Chicago Sockers]] won their second straight title, beating the [[Mid-Michigan Bucks]] in a close 1–0 championship game. The single goal was scored by [[Rodrigo Costa (footballer, born 1976)|Rodrigo Costa]] who, having received a pass from teammate [[Hamid Mehreioskouei]], chipped Bucks goalkeeper [[Eric Pogue]] from 18 yards through a crowded penalty area. [[Fernando Salazar]] of the Los Angeles-based [[San Fernando Valley Heroes]] was the league's MVP, while his teammate [[Arshak Abyanli]] took the honors as top goalscorer.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://homepages.sover.net/~spectrum/usl4.html#2000pdl |title=United Soccer Leagues, Part 4 (2000–2003) |publisher=Homepages.sover.net |date=February 14, 2010 |access-date=February 28, 2012 |archive-date=January 8, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150108174131/http://homepages.sover.net/~spectrum/usl4.html#2000pdl |url-status=dead }}</ref>

The league grew from 41 to 44 teams in 2001 through the usual mix of relegation from D3Pro, teams folding and new franchises being added. In the semi-finals, the [[Westchester Flames]] defeated [[Sioux Falls Spitfire]] 5–1 and [[Calgary Storm]] defeated [[Des Moines Menace]] 2–1; in the final, Westchester defeated Calgary 3–1 to take their first league title.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://homepages.sover.net/~spectrum/usl4.html#2001pdl |title=United Soccer Leagues, Part 4 (2000–2003) |publisher=Homepages.sover.net |date=February 14, 2010 |access-date=February 28, 2012 |archive-date=January 8, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150108174131/http://homepages.sover.net/~spectrum/usl4.html#2001pdl |url-status=dead }}</ref> Des Moines and [[Chicago Fire Reserves]] dominated the 2002 regular season, but both teams stuttered in the playoffs; the PDL final saw the [[Cape Cod Crusaders]] defeating the [[Boulder Rapids Reserve]] 2–1 to bring the title to the Northeast for the second year in a row. 2002 also saw the debut of the soon-to-be PDL legend, [[Tomas Boltnar]] of [[Des Moines Menace]], who secured an unprecedented triple-crown of PDL MVP, Top Scorer and Rookie of the Year.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://homepages.sover.net/~spectrum/usl4.html#2002pdl |title=United Soccer Leagues, Part 4 (2000–2003) |publisher=Homepages.sover.net |date=February 14, 2010 |access-date=February 28, 2012 |archive-date=January 8, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150108174131/http://homepages.sover.net/~spectrum/usl4.html#2002pdl |url-status=dead }}</ref>

The mid-2000s was a period of steady growth and consolidation for the PDL. A TV agreement with [[Fox Soccer Channel]] saw the PDL Championship game being broadcast live on national television in North America for the first time, and professional teams began investing in the league by adding U-23 development sides as an addition to their senior rosters. Cape Cod repeated as PDL champs in 2003, beating the [[Chicago Fire Reserves]] in the final<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.soccertimes.com/proleagues/pdl/2003/aug10 |title=Cape Cod repeats as champion with 1–0 shutout of Chicago |publisher=Soccertimes.com |date=August 9, 2003 |access-date=February 28, 2012}}</ref> (and despite the presence of [[Jürgen Klinsmann]] playing for [[Orange County Blue Star]]), while 2004 saw the title head to Florida for the first time as the [[Central Florida Kraze]] overcame perennial bridesmaids [[Boulder Rapids Reserve]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.soccertimes.com/proleagues/pdl/2004/aug07 |title=Cook scores late to send Central Florida past Rapids Reserve for title |publisher=Soccertimes.com |date=August 7, 2004 |access-date=February 28, 2012 |archive-date=September 24, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924103313/http://www.soccertimes.com/proleagues/pdl/2004/aug07 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

The Northwest Division underwent a major expansion for the 2024 season by adding three new teams from the state of Washington.<ref>{{cite news |last=Evans |first=Jayda |date=January 10, 2024 |title=Two former Sounders take over as coaches of USL League Two sides |url=https://www.seattletimes.com/sports/sounders/two-former-sounders-take-over-as-coaches-of-usl-league-two-sides/ |work=[[The Seattle Times]] |accessdate=January 11, 2024}}</ref>

==Organization==
As USL League Two seasons take place during the summer months, the player pool is drawn mainly from elite [[College soccer in the United States|college soccer]] players seeking to continue playing high-level soccer during their summer break, which they can do while still maintaining their college eligibility, as USL2 is not considered a professional league.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://goal.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/07/24/in-the-p-d-l-looking-up-from-the-bottom-of-the-food-chain/?_r=0 |title=In the P.D.L., Looking Up From the Bottom of the Food Chain |first=Liviu |last=Bird |date=July 24, 2012 |work=[[The New York Times]] |series= New York Times Soccer Blog}}</ref>

Formerly, teams such as [[Laredo Heat]], [[New Orleans Jesters]], [[Vancouver Whitecaps FC U-23]], [[Kitsap Pumas]] and the [[Hollywood United Hitmen]] had embraced partial professionalism through the PDL-Pro program, whereby teams could choose to employ players who were paid for their performances,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://pdl.uslsoccer.com/home/295716.html |title=United Soccer Leagues (USL) |publisher=Pdl.uslsoccer.com |date=December 17, 2008 |access-date=February 28, 2012 |archive-date=February 17, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120217083519/http://pdl.uslsoccer.com/home/295716.html |url-status=dead }}</ref> but who still met the age eligibility criteria. This did not contravene NCAA rules, which state that college players cannot play ''alongside'' professionals, but may play ''against'' them. What this also meant, however, is that PDL-Pro teams could not have any active NCAA players on their rosters, but could employ [[National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics|NAIA]] and [[community college]] players, ex-NCAA players who have already graduated, or other local players who do not play college soccer at all.

Currently, all USL2 teams field amateur U-23 squads. Additionally, USL2 squads often also include standout high school and junior club players, as well as former professionals seeking to continue competing at a high level, often having been forced to retire from top flight competition due to age or injury. League rules dictate that a maximum of eight players on each team's 26-man roster can be over 23 years old, while at least three players on each team's roster must be 18 or younger.

Increasingly, League Two is seen as a 'shop window' for professional clubs looking to discover and identify aspiring professional players who may enter the [[MLS SuperDraft]] in future years. Many of the players currently playing in [[Major League Soccer]] and elsewhere began their careers in the league.
