2022 U.S. Open Cup
The 2022 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup is the 107th edition of the U.S. Open Cup, a knockout cup competition in American soccer. After the 2020 and 2021 competitions were suspended and ultimately canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the United States Soccer Federation announced that the 2022 edition would run from March to mid-September of that year.[1] The 2022 field features 103 clubs, 71 of them fully professional—both modern-era records.[2]

On December 22, 2021, U.S. Soccer announced the final format for the 2022 tournament, with two major changes from prior editions. First, all eligible Division II and Division III professional teams will enter in the Second Round. Second, Major League Soccer will have its entry staggered: Seventeen MLS teams will enter in the Third Round, and the remaining eight teams (the four playing in the 2022 CONCACAF Champions League, and the next highest two teams in both the Eastern and Western Conferences) will enter in the Round of 32.[3]
For the first time since 2017, multiple leagues from the same division will compete in the Open Cup. USL League One, of Division III, will compete alongside teams from MLS Next Pro and the National Independent Soccer Association (NISA). NISA was set to make its Open Cup debut in 2020, before that tournament was canceled; MLS Next Pro was established in 2021, and while primarily a developmental league for MLS teams, its independent clubs will be eligible for the Open Cup.
Atlanta United FC is the defending champion, having won the 2019 tournament.

Format
Draws
- No team who is playing their first Open Cup match will be paired with another team also playing their first Open Cup match. An exception will be made if there are no other teams that are geographically close in order to prevent excess travel.[2]
- Random pairings will be done in cases where three or more teams are from the same general area.[2]
- In cases where a geographical fit doesn't exist, a random selection will occur.[2]
- Pairings between clubs and their parent clubs, clubs with shared ownership, or other clubs using the same technical resources will be avoided in geographic selections and random pairings until the final. For 2022, these pairings include: Los Angeles FC (MLS) and Las Vegas Lights (USLC), Portland Timbers (MLS) and Portland Timbers U23 (USL2), Chattanooga Red Wolves SC (USL1) and Park City Red Wolves SC (USL2).[2]
Matches
- Single-game-knockout format with two 45-minute halves and stoppage time.[2]
- Tied matches are sent to two 15-minute extra-time halves with stoppage time.[2]
- Matches tied after extra time will be settled with a penalty shootout.[2]
- Home teams are determined by a random selection among teams that apply to host. Teams that meet minimum tournament standards will be given priority over others in their pairing.[2]
- Five substitutions during regulation time over three substitution windows and halftime.[2]
- One extra substitution added during extra time. This substitution can be made at the end of regulation, over an additional substitution window, or at extra-time halftime.[2]
- Up to two extra substitutions over two extra substitution windows will be available in the case of a concussion. If a team uses this concussion substitution, the opposing team gains an additional substitution and substitution window.[2]
First and Second Rounds
In the First Round, teams (local, National Amateur Cup, NPSL, & USL2) will be paired in a geographical manner, pitting teams closer together against each other. Once the First Round pairings have been made those pairings will be matched with a Division II (USLC) or a Division III (MLS Next Pro, NISA, or USL1) team in a geographical manner for the Second Round. Division II & III teams that remain unmatched will be matched together, again geographically, avoiding any same-division matching (e.g., no II vs II or III vs III).[2]
The complete draw for the First Round, including match dates and times, was announced on February 2, 2022.[7] Draws for the Second Round were announced on February 11; match dates and times were announced on February 28.[8][9]

Third Round
The winners of the Second Round and the new entrants to the tournament will be grouped geographically into groups of four (12 groups) or six (eight groups), depending on the distribution of teams after the Second Round. Division I (MLS) teams entering the tournament will be spread among the groups as evenly as possible (groups of four: five groups with two and seven groups with one MLS team; groups of six: one group with three and seven groups with two MLS teams). All MLS teams will face a lower-division team. Random selection for each group will determine the pairs. Instances where geographical fit doesn't exist when creating groups will be resolved by random selection.[2]
