Away Days: The Complete Guide to Every City in USL League One
Curated travel guides to all 17 cities in the 2026 USL League One season. Where to eat, where to drink, where to stay, and what to do — for the supporter making a weekend out of every road trip.
Soccer fans travel. It’s what we do. A Friday night flight, a Saturday match, and a Sunday spent exploring a city we’ve never been to before — that’s the best weekend in the sport.
Away Days is a collection of curated travel guides to every city in USL League One. Not tourist board brochures. Not hotel directories. These are opinionated, specific guides written for supporters who want to eat well, drink well, and experience what makes each of these cities worth the trip — whether you’re following your club on the road or just looking for a reason to go.
Every guide covers the essentials — stadium info, how to get there, where to stay across price points — plus hand-picked restaurants, bars, breweries, coffee spots, and the things to do that locals actually care about. The kind of recommendations you’d get from a friend who lives there, not a Google search.
We also wrote one for visiting supporters coming to Fort Wayne. Because if we expect this from every city we visit, we should offer it in return.

These guides get better with your help.
We did the research. We made the picks. But nobody knows a city like the people who live there. If you’re a supporter, a local, or someone who just knows your town better than any travel blog ever could — we want to hear from you.
Drop a comment on your city’s guide. Tell us what we missed, what we got wrong, and what absolutely has to be on the list. The best recommendations will be added. That’s how these guides go from good to definitive — one local tip at a time.
