Schedules

You can view the full season schedule and stats either on the NYC Soccer Collective website or on your team page on the OpenSports app.

The schedule for the first night of games will be available at least 48 hours before the first night of games.

The schedule for the second night of games will be available at least 72 hours before the second night of games.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the full season schedule will be posted within the 3rd week of games.

If fields are closed due to weather - make up games may be scheduled at a different time and/or day of the week than your regular league play (this includes weekends).

Due to occasional unforeseen circumstances the schedule is subject to change after it has been posted.

We will make every effort to send out a notice if there are changes made to a game within the same week.

As a general suggestion you should check your schedule at the beginning of each week to ensure you have the most updated scheduling information.

Rosters

Your team roster is due and all players must be registered to your team by 5pm before your 1st game of the season.
All players must have accurate email contact information and must accept their team invite to be registered.
Must be registered under LEGAL NAME which matches ID, we will be checking IDs at various intervals during the season.

*** You are limited to the # of players in the game as are registered on your team.
(ie: If you have 8 players registered you are limited to 8 maximum players in games)
You can bring in players to fill in when you're going to be short, but # of players in the game can not exceed the # of players on your roster.

Rosters are frozen (meaning you can no longer make an add/drop) 24 hours prior to your 6th regular league game or when a notification is posted on the schedule (whichever is sooner).

ONLY REGISTERED PLAYERS are eligible for the Playoffs. NO EXCEPTIONS.
