The league announced that each club would play an unbalanced schedule with a total of 24 matches. Initially, the International Division clubs were intended to play each other four times, twice home and twice away, with four games apiece at home and away against competition from the American and National Divisions. The American and National Division clubs were intended to play each other twice: home and away, regardless of division.

Following the conclusion of the regular season in August, a postseason tournament, known as the USL PRO Playoffs, will take place between the top eight clubs during the season. The quarterfinals will be played between August 19-20, the semifinals between August 26-28, and the championship will take place on September 3.

USL PRO was initially set to feature 15 clubs that would be aligned into three conferences of five clubs: the "American", "National" and "International" conferences. However, on May 10, 2011, the USL formally removed the three Puerto Rico Soccer League teams and announced that all remaining teams will continue to play a 24 game season to be announced later.
