This is the second post in the Open Roadmap series, where we outline what has been built on the US Soccer Directory (USSD) and what is coming next. The first post laid out the three initiatives behind everything we do: documentation, community, and development. This update covers the work of the last couple of months, most of which falls under the first two.

The focus remains on documentation, because that is why the site was created in the first place. The Fall 2026 seasons have recently kicked off, and we are currently tracking matches from more than 15 different leagues. That means fixtures going in before kick-off, results going in after, and the standings, form tables, and club pages updating off the back of them. When the first Open Roadmap post went out, match coverage reached the top four tiers of the pyramid. It now runs deeper, and it runs across both the men's and women's game.

Outside of documentation, we have added a major feature to the community hub aimed at fans rather than clubs or players. The Supporter Passport is built directly on top of the match and venue data, and it only works because of the documentation effort behind it. That is the pattern we expect to keep repeating: better records make better tools possible, and better tools bring more people into the project. The goal, as always, is to bring more organization to the US soccer ecosystem and to connect clubs to fans and fans to clubs.

Open Roadmap #2

Documentation

The main effort has been adding both depth and breadth to the match database.

  • Breadth - The priority is current matches and results from seasons in progress. With Fall 2026 underway, that now covers over 15 leagues, and we are working to add more at every level of the pyramid.
  • Depth - We are also filling in historical data, starting with the top leagues and working down as records allow.
  • We are always looking for match reporters to help contribute. If you follow a league closely and want to help keep it current, join us in the Discord community. This is where we need help the most.

We have also launched a live streaming page. It builds a daily schedule of every match streaming that day, with kick-off times, a running match clock, and a link straight to the stream. American soccer streams are scattered across dozens of channels and platforms, and finding them usually means checking several sites. This puts them in one running order.

If you stream matches, whether you are a club broadcasting your own home games or a media company covering a division, we want your links on the page. Send us the fixture and the stream link and we will list it, free, with the link pointing straight back to you. Reach out at [email protected].

A few smaller additions:

  • Honors and trophy cabinets have been added to club pages to highlight what clubs have won. These are being entered as current and historical seasons are added, so they are not yet complete records.
  • The women's pyramid has been introduced as the women's side of the database is built out, alongside the existing pyramid.
  • Form tables are a new way to look at a league beyond the standings, highlighting recent form along with offensive and defensive statistics.
  • A new standings page lets you look up tables for a specific season rather than only the current one.

Community

The biggest addition to the community hub is the USSD Supporters Passport.

  • Track every match and venue you attend as a supporter, for free. Search the directory for the games you were at, tick them off, and log the grounds you have visited.
  • Leaderboards rank the top supporters over the last three months, giving the community something to chase and a reason to keep their records current.
  • The passport is still in beta. Expect bugs and expect things to change. Everything you record is saved, but pages and features are still moving while we build it out. An app may be in the plans down the road.

The reasoning behind it is simple. The USSD community platform now has features for all three points of engagement: the club, the player, and the fan. Each of those roles matters, and each is essential to growing the game here. Clubs can manage their pages and post tryouts and pickup sessions. Players can find them and take part. Fans now have something of their own — a record of the games they have been to and the grounds they have stood in.

You can open a passport here.

What's Next

The roadmap continues to evolve as more data is documented and more people get involved. The near-term priorities are straightforward: keep expanding match coverage across the Fall 2026 seasons, keep filling in historical records, get more streams listed on the live page, and keep improving the passport based on what supporters tell us.

Every addition, whether it is a new club, a league, a match, or a feature, is meant to move the project closer to the same three initiatives: documenting the game, strengthening the community, and helping improve the quality of soccer in the United States. We hope you'll follow along, share your feedback, and help shape where it goes next.
