What to watch for as USL season kicks off Saturday with doubleheader on CBS Sports Golazo Network

The USL Championship season begins on March 9 welcoming new team to the mix. You can catch a double header on CBS Sports Golazo Network, a home for USL all season long. 

As the league kicks off Rhode Island FC will join but there are new faces all around from coaches to players in the league. All eyes will be on Phoenix Rising to see if the can become repeat champions, but also it’s a year of opportunity as while the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup has changed with only some MLS and MLS Next Pro clubs taking part it also means that it is now more likely for a USL side to win the tournament booking a spot in the Concacaf Champions Cup, something that hasn’t been done since the Rochester Rhinos in 1999.
