The first round of the 2017 edition of US Open Cup was played (mostly) on May 10. The second round will be played (mostly) on May 17. And the third round is scheduled for May 31.
US Soccer has now finalized the tournament's schedule through the third round. The second round of the Cup includes three matches featuring teams local (ish) to the New York Red Bulls:

The third round will channel all three of those games into two matches:
