List of USASA affiliated leagues

The United States Adult Soccer Association (USASA) is a national organization and sanctioning body for amateur soccer in the United States. It consists of 54 state organizations as well as regional and national leagues.

There are numerous adult leagues that are affiliated with the USASA. These leagues are mostly independent of each other, and the division rankings cannot be reliably compared between state or local organizations. There are affiliated leagues and national leagues, in which the national leagues are seen as the fourth or fifth tier, while the affiliated leagues could technically be seen as the sixth tier. USASA has over 250,000 adult members within its leagues and teams.
