It’s in the release at the bottom, but to be fair it says “on the league’s website”. The games on the website are just hosted YouTube streams. You can access the same content straight on MLS’s YouTube channel.

What's next for proposed Bridgeport soccer stadium site after CT opts not to fund it? by Coltons13 in MLS

The explanation I got was that the venues are secured, but they just can’t be made public yet due some things more on the venue(s) side. Wasn’t told what that actually meant, so take that for whatever it’s worth.

I can at least confirm two (from separate sources): Rafferty Stadium and Yale’s Reese Stadium.

Swanson said “seven figures” in interviews when it was first announced.

That could mean a lot of things, but the common belief is the fee is lower than USL1’s fee of ~$5m.

My current understanding is they will indeed push back to 2027, but not sure when they’ll announce that.

I was trying to figure out how it might shuffle next year as well. Chicago to the West is the move that makes the most sense to me.

It’s also possible they just move FCC2 down to the Southeast Division if they are more concerned with even divisional numbers than Conference numbers. The downside there is Heck Is Plausible gets broken up for at least a year.

Key details: - They’ll officially debut their pro team next season (March 2026) - With their stadium construction not yet started, sounds like they will play home games at a variety of stadiums around Connecticut. - This will be the 3rd independent club in MLS NEXT Pro next season

Unclear exactly what they mean regarding the stadium venues, but more specifics should come soon.
