Pitchside USA is the English-language newsroom of our bilingual publication network, dedicated to covering the sport across MLS, CONCACAF, South America, and the global game through a U.S. lens. Our journalism blends modern reporting, tactical insight, and independent photography to bring supporters closer to the moments that define matchday.
As part of an integrated bilingual ecosystem, we connect readers from Los Angeles to São Paulo—fans who follow the sport not just as entertainment, but as culture.
What We Deliver
Bilingual Reporting
We publish primarily in English while offering select Portuguese editions through our sister site, Território MLS. This allows events, interviews, and stories from across the Americas to travel without losing context or nuance.
Independent Journalism
Our contributors produce original reporting, tactical analysis, long-form features, and on-the-ground coverage of MLS, USMNT/USWNT, Leagues Cup, Concacaf tournaments, and significant global events hosted in North America.
Pitchside Photography
A growing network of freelance photographers—through Pitchside Lens, our new photographer portal—captures the emotion, movement, and culture of matchday. Their work shapes the site's visual identity and supports our goal of elevating North American soccer through world-class imagery.
Community & Culture
We believe the sport lives beyond 90 minutes. Supporter culture, local identities, youth development, and the stories behind players and clubs all matter. Our coverage reflects the people who make soccer vibrant in this region.
Why Our Work Matters
With the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 and the FIFA World Cup 2026 coming to North America, this is a defining era for soccer in the United States and across the continent. Our mission is to document it with responsibility, creativity, and independence.
Every interview, every photograph, every match report is an opportunity to show how the sport connects communities, nations, and generations.
Our Origins
Pitchside USA is built on the foundation of Território MLS, one of Brazil’s leading portals for North American soccer coverage. It operates alongside Pitchside Brazil, our visual and cultural brand arm. For years, our team has produced bilingual journalism that bridges audiences and elevates stories that often go untold in mainstream media.
Today, that work continues with a broader editorial team, improved technology, and a growing photographer ecosystem that strengthens our storytelling.
