Away Days Guide: Your City-by-City Travel Companion to USL League One
17 curated weekend guides to every away city on the 2026 schedule — and one for visitors coming to Fort Wayne.
Fort Wayne Football Club’s first professional season takes us to 17 League One cities, a USL Cup road match in Louisville, and — for the visiting supporters making the trip to Fort Wayne FC Park — we’ve got you covered too.
The Away Days Guide is our running collection of curated weekend travel guides to every city on the schedule. Each guide covers the essentials — stadium info, how to get there, where to stay — plus opinionated picks for the best restaurants, bars, and things to do if you’re turning a match into a proper weekend trip.
These aren’t hotel directories or tourist board brochures. They’re the spots we’d tell a friend about. The local institution you can’t skip, the bar worth finding, the one thing you’d regret not doing.
They’re also living documents. If you’re a local and we missed your favorite spot, drop it in the comments. That’s the whole point — we’ll curate these down to the best over time, with help from you, the one who knows these cities like the back of their hand.
Links will be added as each guide is published. Check back throughout the season.
