Soccer fans across Illinois and the surrounding Midwest now have a dedicated place to follow one of the region’s growing competitive soccer scenes. Throughout the season, Marketing Media TV will publish match coverage, results, updated standings and notable developments from around the conference.
The goal is simple: bring more visibility to the players, clubs and people building the game in our communities.
What is the United Premier Soccer League?
Founded in 2011, the United Premier Soccer League has grown from 10 teams in Southern California into one of the largest pro-development soccer organizations in North America.
UPSL describes its Premier Division as occupying the fourth tier of the U.S. soccer pyramid, below the country’s three professional tiers. The league plays Spring and Fall seasons, while independently owned clubs connect local organizations to regional and national competition.
With an average participant age of approximately 22.5, UPSL is designed to help bridge the gap between youth soccer and the professional game. Beginning with Fall 2026, the league is also operating under a clearer structure consisting of Division 2, Division 1 and Premier.
Midwest Central takes center stage
The conference connects clubs from Chicagoland, communities across Illinois and Madison, Wisconsin. That local footprint is exactly why Marketing Media TV is beginning its UPSL coverage here.

This is just the beginning of our UPSL Midwest Central coverage. Throughout the Fall 2026 season, Marketing Media TV plans to follow the conference with match results, notable developments and stories from around the league.
As the coverage develops, we also aim to bring readers original photography, video and interviews from matches and clubs across the region.
For players, clubs and supporters, our goal is to provide another platform where Midwest soccer can be seen, followed and celebrated.
