On June 24, the league announced the structure of its Return To Play format, separating the league into eight separate groups for regional competitions.[15] Unfortunately, Phoenix was combined with the southern California clubs into Group B, while the other three cup competitors were combined with El Paso into Group C, making a full cup competition impossible for the year.[16] The announcement of the full league Return To Play schedule created the following partial fixture list among the cup participants.[17]

Kickoff times are in MDT (UTC-06) unless otherwise noted.

gollark: I measured how many ridgewings came out certain colors.
gollark: So my ridgewing study is then?
gollark: What?
gollark: Probably just "oh no. Actual numbers behind dragon raising. Evil". And that.
