U.S. Open Cup

Main article: 2021 U.S. Open Cup

On March 29, 2021, the U.S. Soccer Federation announced a truncated format for the 2021 U.S. Open Cup, with 16 clubs participating, entering at the same time in a Round of 16. The format included just four teams from the USL Championship, the four semi-finalists from the 2020 playoffs (El Paso, Louisville, Phoenix, and Tampa). Due to the fact that Indy failed to qualify for the 2020 USLC playoffs, the club was eliminated from the 2021 U.S. Open Cup.[4]
