ATLANTA (April 17, 2025) – Full details for the Round of 32 for the 2025 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup – U.S. Soccer Club Championship – have been announced by U.S. Soccer following this morning’s draw that unfolded live on CBS Sports Golazo Network’s flagship Morning Footy program.
Opponents, dates, kickoff times, venue information, and broadcast details for the 16 matches taking place across Tuesday, May 6, and Wednesday, May 7 – all of which will stream live on Paramount+ – are available below and will be kept up to date via the schedule page at the online home of the Open Cup, ussoccer.com/us-open-cup.
In all Round of 32 contests, 16 clubs from Division I Major League Soccer will jump into the fray against a survivor from the riveting Third Round that just unfolded across the last two nights. That latter group includes 12 teams from the USL Championship (Div. II), three from USL League One (Div. III), and one from MLS NEXT Pro (Div. III).
Today’s draw saw clubs divvied into eight groups of four, named for the eight most capped players with the U.S. Men’s National Team that have captured a U.S. Open Cup title. Each quartet included two Third Round winners and two teams from Major League Soccer – one designated home in the Round of 32 and one designated away. The Round of 32 winners will go on to face the group’s other victor in the Round of 16, set to take place May 20-21. Each group’s priority hosting order for the Round of 16 was also unveiled during this morning’s draw and is listed in the Round of 32 schedule below.
The recently concluded Third Round kicked off CBS Sports’ comprehensive live match coverage of the Open Cup across its linear and digital platforms. That coverage will forge ahead all the way through to the Oct. 1 Final, including every match streaming live on Paramount+ and select matches simulcasting on CBS Sports Network and CBS Sports Golazo Network - including three games each during the upcoming Round of 32; see the schedule below for full broadcast details.

Teams that did not apply to host were placed automatically into away slots, and instances where a logical geographic fit did not exist were resolved by random selection. Groups were formed to avoid league schedule conflicts and allow two rest days between league and Cup matches. If three or more teams/pairings were from the same proximity, pairings for these teams were made by random selection. Any teams who are precluded from playing each other until the Final were not paired.
