TAMPA, Fla. – The USL Championship announced today the league’s Board of Governors has approved a motion that will allow five substitutes to be used for the remainder of the 2020 season.
The number of substitutes represents an increase from the three substitutions rule that had been in place. However, to avoid disruption to the game, each team will only have three opportunities to make all of its allotted five substitutions.
Substitutions may also be made at halftime without counting against a club’s three in-game opportunities.
The decision is in line with the temporary law amendment made by the International Football Association Board in May.
