New York Metro
New York Metro fields three MCC grounds with up to 128 teams on each. Every one of them starts the same ladder: Pitch Champion of its ground, City Champion of New York Metro, then the country and continental stages and the World Final on 7 July 2027.
Three grounds, one champion
First to two goals wins - max 15 minutes, no halftime. If neither team reaches two, the team leading at full time goes through; still level, a penalty shootout decides. Up to five weeks of knockout football on each ground leaves New York Metro with three Pitch Champions, and the City Championship decides who carries the name.
