Tracking all of the USL League One pre-season transactions and confirmed returnees and departures ahead of the 2025 season. We update this page as transactions are announced. All transactions are confirmed by an official team announcement or a player/agent public statement.
After initial roster decisions are released by the 2024 teams, all players not confirmed to be returning are assumed to be free agents.
