In 1995 the United States Interregional Soccer League (USISL) changed its name to the United States International Soccer League, and split into two leagues, one professional (the 'Professional League', which ultimately became the USL Second Division) and one amateur (the 'Premier League'). The four conference champions advance to national semifinals and the league Championship, both played at the home of the higher seed. All matches in the playoffs are played in single match elimination format, with each conference winner hosting a four-team conference championship weekend. The USL2 playoffs see division winners and each conference's best second-place finisher advance to the conference semifinals. All teams play a regular season schedule of 14 games, seven home and seven away, within their division.


The league season runs from May through July, with the playoffs decided through July and August. USL League Two is divided into 4 conferences (Eastern, Central, Southern, and Western), comprising 12 divisions.
