Sorry for the wait for this edition of Expansion Talk, but I tried to make this one a bit larger than normal since its the first Expansion Talk of 2019. There's been some exciting news recently. USL President Jake Edwards quantified the rapid growth of the USL by detailing his goal to have 40 teams in the Championship and 40 teams in League One by 2026. Additionally, Austin FC has been announced as the 27th MLS franchise.
