USL Championship released its full 2023 season schedule Monday as the league embarks into a new era of sorts, one that is completely independent of Major League Soccer.

This upcoming year marks the first for the USL Champion since 2018 when they were granted provisional division two status by the USSF in which MLS affiliates/”two” teams will not be part of the eight-month schedule which stretches from March 11 until October 14.

Despite the release of the schedule, USL still has yet to release their new media deal, however, there are rumors that the league has in fact re-upped with ESPN heading into 2023.
