Starting for the 2026–2027 seasonal soccer year (August 1, 2026 – July 31, 2027), youth soccer programs across the country will adopt a new age-group cut-off date of August 1 instead of January 1. 

Why the change?

• Better aligns youth soccer teams with the school-year cycle.
• Most effectively reduces the number of “trapped players” - “Trapped” players are those who, due to soccer age group cut-offs, are in an older soccer age group than their school year.
• Belief that reverting to the pre-2017, Aug. 1–July 31 age group format will best support player development and improve overall balance and participation across youth soccer.
• Three of the major soccer governing bodies including US Club, US Youth Soccer and the American Youth Soccer Organization (AYSO) are all following the adjusted age group cutoff dates.
