The revenue-sharing agreement between the USL and its clubs is the latest example of the league changing how it does business.

I dig into the evolving approach that’s taking the USL into a new era.

www.backheeled.com The USL is changing its business model. Can revenue sharing deliver on its potential? The USL’s new revenue-sharing model is set to help unlock growth and stability across the league. Just how much, though, remains a question.

Revenue sharing. Pro-rel. Broader pyramid. New leadership.

The USL is undergoing its most significant transformation ever. Now, can a new business model deliver on its promise?

@USLTactics takes you inside the USL's changing approach ⤵️

Absolute home run of a hire for the Legion. Fuller hit the ground running as One Knox did the League One double in 2025, and he turned them into a more balanced attacking team with stronger player dev in 2026. Feels like a natural successor to Heaps' system in Birmingham.

🚨 Sources: Ian Fuller has been hired as Birmingham Legion’s head coach.

Fuller coached two seasons for One Knoxville in USL League One, winning the title in ’25. Now makes the jump to the USL Championship.

Jay Heaps moves back into the front office at Birmingham.

NEWSLETTER: Another week of playoff action, another set of stray takeaways from me.

That, plus a Hugo Bacharach spotlight and a look at Tampa Bay/Fort Lauderdale in the Super League.
