Atlanta United announces that the club will participate in the U.S. Open Cup in 2026.

Was always expected given the fact that it finished out of playoff places in 2025, but it's now officially official.

I asked Tata about prepping for next year, he noted two things need to happen to be ready for 2026:

1. Bringing in the few players/profiles they feel they need
2. Having a full, good preseason

The NWSL coming to Atlanta is the missing piece for the Atlanta soccer scene in the modern era. Couple it with Atlanta United, U.S. Soccer HQ, and the World Cup (and its legacy), and Atlanta fans will have access to just about any type of soccer fandom.
