With the 4-0 win for Ballard FC. We have the final #USOC2027 priority standings for USL League Two. The top 6 teams from this table + the league's playoff champion will be invited to receive a bye to the tournament proper.
The critical USL-2 match that just kicked off for the Northwest title between @goballardfc.bsky.social and Snohomish United will also serve as a nearly #WinAndYoureIn match for #USOC2027. The scenario: Any Ballard win or 2+ goal Snohomish win puts them into 7th place on this table.
A few more regular seasons have finished for USL League Two teams, including Lionsbridge FC dropping a 1-2 home defeat which drops them out of contention for all but the USL-2 champion slot in #USOC2027. Live look at the table. Top 7 are guaranteed to be invited to 1st round.
The 20 division champions will be ordered by PPG, then Goal Difference Per Game, then Goals For Per game (not all teams play the same number of regular season matches). Here is that list as of today, with the regular season ending on Sunday. #USOC2027
