Regionalized Competition, commencing in August, divided into two conferences; an Eastern Conference and a Western Conference, and II. a Single Location Tournament slated to be held September 21-October 2 at the conclusion of Regionalized Competition resulting in a single Fall champion.

"Today we are releasing the NISA fall schedule and I am excited that Cal United, Los Angeles Force, Oakland Roots, Michigan Stars, Detroit City FC, Chattanooga FC, New York Cosmos and New Amsterdam FC are set to take on the challenges of league play.
