Where USL League One sits

USL League One rankings — common questions

Is this the official USL League One table?
No. USL League One publishes its own standings. Ranked XI is an independent national ranking that places all 17 USL League One clubs on one scale alongside every other league in the US pyramid, so cross-league comparison is possible.
Why does this not match the USL League One standings?
Standings measure points won inside one league or conference this season. A Ranked XI rating measures strength on a single national scale, calibrated across tiers on U.S. Open Cup results, so a club can sit high here and mid-table in its own conference.
How many USL League One clubs are rated?
17 of them, led by Union Omaha at 1740. Clubs whose divisions publish no usable table are listed without a rating rather than being given an invented one.

Every Ranked XI rating labels its basis. Cross-league placement is calibrated on ~600 U.S. Open Cup results — how the ratings work. Ranked XI is an independent project: not an official USSF or league ranking, not affiliated with any league or club, and not betting advice. Marks belong to their owners.
