28 amateur teams began their 2023 US Open Cup journey across three days of thrilling soccer action. There were competitive games, with half of the them (7) decided by a single goal, and two more that went to penalty kicks. Of the 14 amateur sides advancing, six of them were from the NPSL, four from USL League Two, and one each from the UPSL, EPSL, Midwest Premier League, and NISA Nation, respectively.
