Team USA will play a 62-game schedule that will be regionally based, meaning that both the Under-17 and Under-18 Teams will only play teams from the USHL's Eastern Conference. The lone exception will be at the USHL Fall Classic in Cranberry Township, Pennsylvania, where the U18s will square off against Omaha and Waterloo from the Western Conference.
Team USA's full USHL schedule can be found in the table below.

SCHEDULE HIGHLIGHTS
I-80 RIDE
Team USA and the Youngstown Phantoms will continue to be more than familiar with the ride down I-80 between USA Hockey Arena and the Covelli Centre. The NTDP and Phantoms are scheduled to play an opponent-high 12 contests against each other for the season; an even split of six at each location.
HOME COOKING
Team USA will enjoy an early season nine-game combined homestand between both the U17 and U18 Teams from October 14 - November 23. The U17s take the first three contests of the stretch, including the USHL home opener on October 14 when they host the Chicago Steel.
LUCKY 13
Team USA will play 13 USHL games in the month of March, the most in any calendar month of the season. Only four of those games will come at USA Hockey Arena as the two teams will visit Green Bay, Madison, Muskegon and Dubuque throughout the month.
PROMOS
Team USA will release its full promotional schedule later this summer, but count on the yearly traditions of opening weekend magnet schedules, team poster giveaways, Scout and Carnival Weekend, Military Weekend and a bobblehead giveaway!
ROAD TRIPPIN'
Both the Under-17 and Under-18 National Teams will have a five-game road trip throughout the season. The U18s will travel to Green Bay, Madison and Muskegon from March 3-17 while the younger squad hits the road right after to visit Green Bay, Dubuque and Madison from March 17-April 2.
