The 2026 Rhode Island FC season is the third season for Rhode Island FC, and their third in the USL Championship, the second tier of professional soccer in the United States.
RIFC will play an unbalanced 30-game regular season schedule, plus four USL Cup games. They will play their Eastern Conference opponents twice, each home and away, and six of the teams in the Western Conference, three home and three away. The top eight teams in each conference will make the playoffs.[1]
The group stage of the 2026 USL Cup will have six teams competing in Group 5, each playing four games, two home and two away.[2]
RIFC entered in the first round of the 2026 U.S. Open Cup and advanced to the Round of 32.[3]
Preseason
RIFC's preseason included a local training camp in Rhode Island, followed by extended training in Florida at IMG Academy. RIFC played closed-door scrimmages against New England Revolution II, Sporting Club Jacksonville, Sarasota Paradise, Philadelphia Union II, and Hartford Athletic.[4] An open exhibition game against Brooklyn FC was canceled due to after-effects of the Blizzard of '26, which left 30 inches of snow in Pawtucket.
The team's season-opening game against Loudoun United FC, scheduled for March 7, was also postponed due to the blizzard. The game was moved to mid-October.[5]

U.S. Open Cup
Rhode Island entered in the First Round of the 2026 U.S. Open Cup, joining the competition at the same time as 16 other USL Championship teams.[35] Their first-round game against the amateur team CD Faialense of the Bay State Soccer League was played on Tuesday, March 17 at Centreville Bank Stadium.[36][37] They were drawn at home against rivals Hartford Athletic for a second-round game on April 1. RIFC beat Hartford 2–0, with two first-half goals scored from corner kicks.[38][39]
After their victory in the second round, RIFC was paired with New England Revolution in a Round of 32 game. The Revolution were seeded as designated hosts, but Gillette Stadium was not available for New England to play in their home stadium.[40] The game was played at Centreville Bank Stadium, with The Revolution as the "home" team and Rhode Island "away."[33] The Revolution took the lead on a 51st-minute goal from Diego Fagúndez. RIFC tied the game at 1–1 late in second-half stoppage time via a header from JJ Williams. After a scoreless extra time, the Revolution won the ensuing penalty-kick shootout.[41]
