TAMPA, Fla. – USL League Two celebrates the Memorial Day weekend with over 60 matches, including local derbies, battles between divisional contenders, and the debuts of newcomers to the league. Here are the key matchups to watch this week with every match available live on SportsEngine Play:

NEFC makes its League Two debut against a Black Rock FC side which went winless last season. Will the newcomers win on their debut, or will Black Rock earn its first win since the 2023 season? 

A battle of the heavyweights in the Northeast Division as the defending champions Seacoast United Phantoms lost in their season debut while Western Mass has come out of the gates flying with 17 goals scored through two games. 

Lexington SC will make its League Two debut against a Fort Wayne FC side expected to top the Valley Division. With Lexington SC recently making the move to the USL Championship and Fort Wayne set to join USL League One next season, some top talent should feature in this one. 

Bigfoot FC has started well in its debut season with four points earned through the first two games. The true test will come against a Ballard FC side which topped the Northwest Division last season with a sellout crowd expected for the club’s home opener. 

This promises to be a mouthwatering affair between two clubs expected to top the Nor Cal Division at the end of the season. Almaden won the division last season and currently sits in first, but San Francisco Glens will hope homefield advantage helps them to leapfrog their rivals. 

Asheville City FC makes its long-awaited season debut following the club’s run to the National Semifinals last season as they get ready to host an Apotheos FC side which lost its debut match against Tennessee SC. 

We have a Northeast Ohio derby between division-leading Cleveland Force SC and an Akron City FC side playing its second game in its debut season following a tight 2-2 draw against Steel City FC. 

Both AHFC Royals and Houston FC find themselves at the top of the Lonestar Division with AHFC looking to return to back to the playoffs after winning the division last season. This should be an intriguing matchup between the crosstown Houston rivals. 

This matchup between second and third in the Southwest Division could lay down an early marker for which side will be challenging for the title come the end of the season. Fans in attendance are encouraged to bring a plush toy for a halftime toss that will be donated to Diamond Children’s Medical Center which we absolutely love to see. 

A fun match to watch on Sunday of the holiday weekend between two Florida rivals that have started the season with mixed results. Will Weston FC be able to play spoiler at home to the divisional winners from last season in Sarasota Paradise? 

These two sides finished next to each other in the standings last season but Ann Arbor currently leads the Great Lakes Division with two wins from two played as Oakland County comes into town looking to close the gap in the standings.
