Last spring, the 2020 USL League Two season was one of many soccer cancellations during the COVID-19 pandemic’s initial days.

But with the 2021 season roughly four months out, local clubs in the Northeast Division are optimistic that competition will return to fields around New England.

Teams in the summertime league typically play 14 games from May through July, as followed by a playoff format that carries into August. Paul Baber of Seacoast United said there could be a small delay, but they’re currently forging ahead.
