The full USL League One schedule was released this past week and fans are already circling May 16 as a can't miss match with Indy Eleven coming to town for one of four USL Cup matches for Fort Wayne FC. Though the teams compete in different tiers of the USL, this match could be the birth of a future I-69 rivalry.

In this episode of Fort Wayne Footy we'll take a look at Fort Wayne's foes in 2026 as well as their cross-divisional opponents in the USL Cup.

Catch us live at 9pm every Sunday night, or later in the week on your favorite podcast directory.
