First Round Play-By Date

Thursday, December 3, 2026

44 days from today

Both of your first-round matches have to be played by this date. Don't wait for it. Work with your opposing coach and your club rep now and get the games scheduled as early as you can, because fields get wet and daylight runs out, and a game nobody booked in October is a game somebody is chasing in November.

This Year's Brackets

Every bracket below has a live board showing the matchups, the scores as they come in, and who has gone through. Open yours, bookmark it, and send it to your parents.

How Do I Get My Matches Scheduled?

  1. Find your matches on ncsanj.com under Schedules/Results, then Schedules by Division. Your Cup flight ends in XB or XW. They're already there, listed as TBS.

  2. Agree a date, a time and a field with the opposing coach, exactly as you would for any other TBS match.

  3. Ask your club rep or Club President to submit the game change request. Only they can, the same as a league match, and it's what gets referees assigned. The usual submission deadline applies.

  4. Build your Cup roster in NJYS under the name on the match schedule, then send it to NCSARosters@ncsanj.com for approval. No approved roster, no match.

Tournament rules are in the NCSA Rules of Competition, section 5.1.1, starting on page 11. Read them before your first match. The first leg can end in a tie; if the two of you are level after the second leg, that match goes straight to penalty kicks.

Finals Day

Every bracket in both divisions plays its final at Ramapo College - it's an amazing experience for players, coaches and families alike!
