A fresh chapter in a historic rivalry
The 2026 USL League Two campaign ignites with a marquee showdown as Vermont Green FC hosts Seacoast United Phantoms. The two clubs have met 10 times over the years, with Seacoast holding a 6‑3 edge, but the narrative always shifts when the defending champions take the field.
Vermont Green enters the new season as the reigning title holder, eager to prove that last year’s triumph was no fluke. At the heart of their lineup is Marco Dos Santos, a former Seacoast stalwart who contributed decisively to the 2026 U.S. Open Cup victory and now looks to add another chapter to his former club’s story.
Across the pitch, Seacoast United has appointed Drou Goff as head coach. Goff, who previously guided the side to a 3‑2 opening‑day defeat against NEFC, is determined to reshape the roster and restore the dominance that once defined the franchise.
The match will be broadcast live on the USL League Two streaming platform, SportsEngine Play, giving fans across the country a front‑row view of a contest that promises goals, drama, and a glimpse of the season’s evolving dynamics.
