American Premier Soccer League

What American Premier Soccer League does

The American Premier Soccer League (APSL) is a private, non-profit amateur adult soccer league operating in the fourth tier of the U.S. soccer pyramid, founded in 2020 and headquartered in Fairview, New Jersey. The league organizes competitive play across at least eight regional conferences spanning Connecticut, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Massachusetts, New York, the Mid-Atlantic (DC/Virginia/Maryland), Michigan, Georgia, and Texas, with a membership base exceeding 70 amateur soccer clubs. APSL operates on a fall-to-spring calendar aligned with the international football schedule and incorporates a promotion-and-relegation structure that culminates in an annual National Championship Weekend, held in 2025-26 at Segra Field in Leesburg, Virginia.

The league's core operating technology is the TeamPass platform, which handles club registration, player registration, match scheduling, league table management, and event coordination. APSL leverages this platform as a self-serve channel alongside a direct club membership sales motion, with a small operational team (1-10 employees) supporting league administration, communications, and conference governance.

APSL generates revenue primarily through recurring annual membership dues set at $1,500 per club for a full 10-month season, a pricing point the league explicitly markets as the most affordable national league offering in the United States. Membership includes regional conference play, playoff competition, and eligibility for the National Championship Weekend. The league is formally affiliated with FIFA, the U.S. Soccer Federation, the United States Adult Soccer Association, and nine state soccer associations, providing member clubs a sanctioned pathway to the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. A Partner Leagues Network of seven regional amateur leagues (including the Atlanta District Amateur Soccer League, Cosmopolitan Soccer League, Garden State Soccer League, and others) supports cross-league mobility and structured promotion. Notable alumni outcomes, including Tani Oluwaseyi's progression from NY Pancyprian Freedoms to a FIFA World Cup debut for Canada, are used as evidence of the league's player-development value proposition.
