How many soccer clubs are ranked in Pennsylvania?

174 rated clubs across 16 leagues — 120 men’s and 54 women’s. Unrated clubs are held and mapped but carry no number.

Which is the best soccer club in Pennsylvania?

Philadelphia Union at 1900, playing in MLS. "Best" here means highest rating on the Ranked XI national scale, not league position.

Are amateur and pro clubs really on the same scale?

Yes. Cross-league placement is calibrated on about 600 U.S. Open Cup results, the one competition where clubs from different tiers meet, so a strong amateur side can rate above a weak professional one.
