Leagues in Arizona

Soccer in Arizona — common questions

How many soccer clubs are ranked in Arizona?
33 rated clubs across 8 leagues — 25 men’s and 8 women’s. Unrated clubs are held and mapped but carry no number.
Which is the best soccer club in Arizona?
Phoenix Rising at 1704, playing in USL Championship. "Best" here means highest rating on the Ranked XI national scale, not league position.
Are amateur and pro clubs really on the same scale?
Yes. Cross-league placement is calibrated on about 600 U.S. Open Cup results, the one competition where clubs from different tiers meet, so a strong amateur side can rate above a weak professional one.

Every Ranked XI rating labels its basis. Cross-league placement is calibrated on ~600 U.S. Open Cup results — how the ratings work.
