  • Nashville SC will take part in the 2025 U.S. Open Cup after a one-year hiatus, while it will not compete in a downsized Leagues Cup.

The article from The Tennessean discusses Nashville SC's participation in the 2025 U.S. Open Cup, which will feature a new format with only eight MLS teams, including Nashville SC, competing. This change aims to reduce scheduling conflicts with other tournaments like the Leagues Cup, which has expanded to include 47 teams from MLS and Liga MX. Nashville SC, having previously won the Leagues Cup in 2023, will face a challenging schedule with the addition of the U.S. Open Cup, alongside their regular MLS season and other competitions. The article highlights the strategic adjustments teams like Nashville SC must make due to the overlapping schedules and the potential impact on player fatigue and performance.
