Both boys and girls teams will compete Jan. 30-Feb. 1, with all games taking place at Arizona Athletic Grounds in Mesa, Ariz.
“We recently wrapped up the first winter event, and it featured some great games and very competitive groups that came down to very small margins to determine the winners,” National League general manager Marc Frankland said. “With the January event rounding out the rest of the groups, it will be extremely exciting to see which teams stand out from a talented field to secure berths to the postseason.”
The winter events feature competition for boys and girls teams that are playing in the 14U, 15U, 16U, 17U and 19U age groups during the 2025-26 youth soccer season. Within each age group, teams are split into groups of four, and each team plays its three group opponents over three days.
+ Recap, results from first winter event: Boys | Girls
Teams that finish in first place in their winter event’s four-team group advance directly to the 2026 US Youth Soccer National Championships, presented by New York Life. In some age groups, top second-place finishers will also advance to the National Championships to round out 10 total qualifiers — from across both winter events — in each age group.
The remaining second-place finishers will advance to The National League Cup Playoffs, with the number of advancing teams dependent on the total number of teams competing in Mesa in each respective age group. For age groups in which winter event second-place finishers advance to either the National Championships or The National League Cup, the postseason destination for each team will be determined after the January 2026 event is concluded and tiebreakers are calculated.
