Official MLS NEXT table, league sync 2026-09-19. MLS NEXT standings and schedule (official League Viewer feed) ↗
U16 power rankings
Rankings begin once a team has played 5 counted matches. The season has just started: the most any team in this table has played is 2. Tables above update from the league’s own results.
How the ranking works
AthleMix calculation from official MLS NEXT results. It is not an official MLS NEXT ranking. E_home = 1 / (1 + 10^((R_away - R_home - 55) / 400)); R_home' = R_home + 24 * G * (S - E_home); R_away' = R_away - the same change. G = 1 for a draw or one-goal game, 1.5 for two goals, 1.75 for three or more (margin counted up to 3 goals). S = 1 win, 0.5 draw, 0 loss. A penalty-shootout game is scored as a draw. Teams need 5 matches to be ranked and are marked provisional under 8. Homegrown Division (league + MLS NEXT Flex results) and Academy Division are ranked separately until an age group has at least 30 completed cross-division results; one or two games cannot calibrate two pools against each other.
Girls’ leagues
ECNL and Girls Academy publish standings only inside their own sites and do not permit other services to read them. Until they grant permission, AthleMix links to the official pages rather than copying them.
Young players come first
AthleMix does not import records of individual youth players — no names, photos, social accounts or statistics. A player aged 13–17 appears only through a profile they create with a parent or guardian’s approval, and the guardian controls what is shared.
