| 5/1/26 | USL Labor agreement, Investment In MLS Next Pro, TST 2026 + More | It's a loaded Friday here on Morning Kickaround. Let's hope we all have the energy to get through it all. We open with the news we have all been waiting for. The USL and USLPA have come to a tenative agreement on a new Collective Bargaining Agreement for both the USL Championship and the forthcoming USL Premier. The details are a bit light at the moment, but this is quite a welcome development. Also, MLS Next Pro is the latest league to welcome a private equity firm into their investment fold and a group from Las Vegas has interest in the Vancouver Whitecaps. We also bring on Luke Rubin, head of team relations for The Soccer Tournament. He answers all our questions about the fourth year of this event in Cary, North Carolina.

| 4/29/26 | Save the Caps, "Backup League" Stadiums, LAFC Protests, and more | Wednesday is here and so are Robert Kerr and Jason Davis for another edition of Morning Kickaround. We start by joining the latest soccer crusade to save the Vancouver Whitecaps. With rumors of relocation flying around because of their lack of a quality playing surface, the people are flying into action to try and keep the Caps in British Columbia. Soccer is still being built from the ground up as a couple MLS Next Pro clubs have some stadium news. Also, does it make sense to build shiny new soccer stadiums for what some cynics call a "backup league"? Finally, Grasshopper, the Swiss club owned by LAFC, is in disarray after barely two years of ownership and we have the Round of 16 in the U.S. Open Cup.

| 4/27/26 | Soccer Stadium News, NYPD Says No, Because Football joins + More | Morning Kickaround may or may not be the cure for your case of the Mondays, but we're going to give it our best shot. We open in the plains of Iowa where we clank the clanger for a professional soccer stadium in Des Moines. The project entering the fun part of asking for public money and working with architects to develop what we really want: stadium renderings. Speaking of renderings, the Pittsburgh Riverhounds have some new ones from their renovations of Highmark Stadium. Also, New York City has more grim news for World Cup watch parties. NYPD and the Department of Transportation are no longer supporting street watch parties in the cities. We then weclome Andrew from Because Football onto the show. Andrew is travelling to all the World Cup host cities before the start of the tournament. We dig into what he's learned about them and what his motivation is for all this adventure. Finally, Jason unboxes some gifts and we tease a little ticket giveaway courtesty of Blackstone Valley Tourism.

| 4/24/26 | MLS Rookie Coaches, Soccer History Rhymes, Italy in World Cup? + more | It's a Rob and Luke Friday on Morning Kickaround and they have the rubrics out for the rookie MLS coaches. MLS has a plethora of new coaches on the scene and Robert and Luke break them down and give them all grades for the first quarter of the MLS season. Tom and Kirk from the An American Game podcast return the show next to shed some light on how American soccer history does not repeat itself, but the rhymes are everywhere. The alphabet soup of leagues we have now is really no different from what was around more than a century ago. Finally, can Italy replace Iran in the World Cup? ALso, Luke shows off some of his collection of obscure kits and Rob does a live unboxing of a package sent to him by AC Boise's River Guard supporters group.

| 4/22/26 | Columbus To NWSL, USMNT Ticket Sales Problem, 50 Day World Cup Countdown | Welcome to Wednesday on Morning Kickaround, and today's show hits at one of the things holding down American soccer... Capitalism. Ticket prices for the World Cup continue to be sky high and sales are slower than expected. USMNT matches are even struggle to sell at the moment. Combo that with increasingly shady business practices by FIFA and you get.. a problem that FIFA doesn't care about and won't even try to solve. Also, how will the World Cup influence youth soccer and is there any hope for the problems that ail that system? In other news, the NWSL is coming to Columbus at the expense of $50 million in public funding to revamp a city park into a training facility for the new club. Finally, the GOAT is coming to Utah tonight, but what did it take to get him there and is it a good thing that Real Salt Lake is keeping this game at America First Field?

| 4/17/26 | USL Labor Beef Get Heated, Soccer Under Construction, Dot The Map | Today Morning Kickaround has to deal with an American soccer landscape that is kind of like Rob's hair... all over the place. The USL Labor beef takes center stage as a club president decided to take to Instagram to defend his club in the ongoing PR battle around the CBA negotiations. Why did he adopt this tactic and was it actually a good idea? Also, stadium projects throughout the country continue to grow. Geenville, South Carolina is making waves with a call for investment, but so are Omaha, Toledo, and Reno. Finally, we #DotTheMap with our newest Ultras to finish out the week on a high note.

| 4/15/26 | Crocker Quits, Mascherano Walks, Guest Will Bunch, Cupsets + More | It's a Wednesday of unexpected coaching and adminstrative changes on Morning Kickaround. First up is the sudden departure of Javier Mascherano from Inter Miami. Why the sudden change here? We also saw Matt Crocker depart his post as the USMNT's Sporting Director to take up a similar role in Saudi Arabia. On the happier side of surprises, we had a couple of Cupsets to talk about last night with Louisville City and Colorado Springs Switchbacks taking MLS scalps into the U.S. Open Cup Quarterfinals. We are then joined by WIll Bunch, national opinion writer for the Philadelphia Inquierer for a look at the mental gymnastics we are all performing to square ourselves with this World Cup.

| 4/13/26 | MLS Joins the Open Cup, NWSL Expansion Check In, + More | It's a Monday on Morning Kickaround and it's full of surprises. Robert Kerr and Jason Davis are joined, somewhat enexpectedly by Mitch Baruchowitz, principal owner of Westchester SC, to discuss his club's upcoming home match against New York City FC in the U.S. Open Cup. How big of a moment is this for the young USL League One club and what is he hoping to get out of the game, aside from a victory, of course. Also, we check in on the expansion teams on the women's side of the game. How are Boston Legacy and Denver Summit doing in the NWSL and how about Sporting Jax leading the way in the USL Super League?

| 4/6/26 | AC Boise Home Opener, Nu Stadium in Miami, and more | Welcome back to Morning Kickaround for the week and... ROB IS STILL HERE! Mr. Kerr got himself a new new job that will allow him to stay with us on the live show, which means he has thoughts on Inter Miami's Nu Stadium. The house that Messi built opened with a 2-2 draw against Austin, inclduing a goal from the G.O.A.T. The natives are resltess in New Jersey. Despite some early season success, Red Bull New York fans are not exactly showing up and they are throwing shade at the club for what they are asking of their most loyal supporters. Also, USL players are still protesting their lack of a CBA, but are their efforts losing steam? Unlike Red Bull New York, AC Boise isn't struggling to connect with its supporters. They had their home opener, so their CEO Brad Stith join us for a little recap of how the eveinng went in the Idaho capital.

| 3/25/26 | Sacramento Doubles Down, World Cup Playoffs, Expansion news + More | One day without Robert Kerr was too much, so it's great that he's back for this hump day edition of Morning Kickaround. The show opens with the latest World Cup news on the eve of the final qualification playoffs. A group of European supporters are suing over the crazy cost of match tickets for this summer's marquee event. Where will their efforts lead? Also, Sacramento released some updated stadium renderings that are not only gorgeous, but perhaps signal some bigger intentions. Perhaps a revival of the city's MLS expansion bid is on the table? We then welcome Ben Ohashi, AC Boise's cheif marketing officer. Needless to say he has a lot to do with only ten days remaining before the club's home opener. Finally, is the NWSL coming to Columbus?

In other transfer news, Ricardo Pepi still can't seal his move to Fulham. The deal from PSV is off... for now. Will this long rumored move ever happen? Also, the USL Championship CBA protstets are still on-going with very little movement in negotiations for a new agreement.

| 3/9/26 | USL Player Protests, Business Model Change, Club Debuts + more | It's a USL heavy Monday show on Morning Kickaround. The opening weekend of the USA's second and third tier leagues were full of drama. The biggest story was the players protest on the lack of a new collective bargaining agreement. Every game opened with a minute of players standing still while being virtually ignored by the league's television broadcast. Was this this right move for the players? By the league? What's next in this saga. On the positive side for the league, a handful of expansion clubs got their formal start, including friends of the show AC Boise. How did the new guys fare in opening weekend and how did the MK Ultras take it all in? Finally, has the USL outgrown its business model and how can it be updated to fit the league's current reality?
