The United States Soccer Federation (USSF) announced the potential Second Round pairings for the 2018 Lamar Hunt US Open Cup. The late addition of New York Cosmos B, Miami FC 2 and the Jacksonville Armada to the competition pushed this announcement back a week, but now open division teams will know who they will play if they advance beyond the First Round (May 8-9).

The 22 US-based United Soccer League (Division 2 pro) teams will join 26 First Round winners for 24 games that are scheduled to take place on May 16. The teams that survive Round 2 will advance to the Third Round which is scheduled to take place the week after (May 23).

The Second Round gives Open Division teams their first chance to pull off an upset. However, last year, the Davids didn’t fare as well against the Goliaths. Only four Open Division teams survived the Second Round (Reading United AC, Michigan Bucks, Chicago FC United of the PDL and Christos FC, the lone Open Division local qualifier)
