Open Cup 2022 scores draw results bracket schedule matches f

Posted by seestyle on July 31st, 2022

After a two-year hiatus due to COVID-19 cancellations, the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup is back this season. One of the oldest club tournaments in world soccer, a total of 103 teams have been doing battle in 2022 with only one that will be left standing to have its name engraved on the trophy.

The tournament is named in honor of U.S. Soccer Hall of Fame inductee Lamar Hunt, who was a long-time owner, investor and supporter of the game on American soil. The last team to hoist the cup was Atlanta United in 2019, when they beat fellow MLS side Minnesota United at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Since the launch of top-flight Major League Soccer in 1996, the Open Cup has been won by an MLS side in every year but one. The second-tier Rochester Rhinos shocked MLS's Colorado Rapids in the 1999 final for the lone lower-division final Rio Ruiz Jersey upset during the last 26 years.

In the U.S. Open Cup, each match is a single-elimination knockout match. If there's a draw after 90 minutes of regulation, the match will head to extra time, followed by a penalty-kick shootout, if nece sary.

The complete schedule, every score and all the highlights for each round follows below. Every match beginning in the 2nd Round is available to stream on ESPN+ in the USA.
