The USL Championship and the USL Players Association announced Friday that they had reached a formal agreement on a return to play for this season.

They are preparing for a July 11 restart to the season.

The two sides added that they will resume negotiations on its first Collective Bargaining Agreement in the coming weeks.

The season had been interrupted in March due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
