The USL Jägermeister Cup includes non-traditional modifications that encourage attacking soccer and provide entertaining moments for fans. These include:

  • An emphasis on goals: Goals scored will be used as the tiebreaker for teams level on points following the group stage. The six group winners will advance to the knockout rounds, and the remaining two spots will be awarded to the non-group winners with the most points earned in group play.
  • Shootout drama: Matches that finish tied at the end of regulation time will go directly to a penalty-kick shootout, with the shootout winners earning an extra point. Shootout losers will still earn one point for the draw in regulation time.
