USL Arkansas, the state’s second professional soccer club, recently announced that it will unveil its club name, crest and colors on Thursday, Oct. 3, at Rendezvous Junction in Rogers.
USL Arkansas will launch men’s and women’s teams for the 2026 season. The men’s club will compete in the USL Championship League and the women’s team will compete in the USL Super League, each level of competition roughly equivalent to the AAA level — one step below the majors — in Minor League Baseball.
Wes Harris, co-founder of USL Arkansas, will emcee the event, which will also feature co-founders Warren Smith and Chris Martinovic.
A new stadium seating roughly 5,000 fans is planned for the Pinnacle Hills district of Rogers.
