Competitions

NISA Independent Cup
Main article: 2020–21 NISA season § NISA Independent Cup

Chattanooga was announced as one of the four NISA teams taking part in the inaugural NISA Independent Cup on July 1.[5] The regional tournament is set to act as both a pre-season and chance to "provide a platform for professional and amateur independent clubs to play together on a national stage."

The team was drawn into the Southeast Region alongside former National Premier Soccer League rival Georgia Revolution FC and United Premier Soccer League sides Savannah Clovers FC and Soda City FC.[6] Games will be played between Chattanooga's home field at Finley Stadium and two venues in South Carolina, with both the region's championship game and third place games taking place at Finley on August 1.
