Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC 2026 soccer season
The 2026 Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC season is the club's twelfth season of existence, and their twelfth season in the Western Conference of the USL Championship, the second tier of the American soccer league system.
Over the offseason, the club underwent a coaching change. Just days after being eliminated in the 2025 USL Championship playoffs by eventual Western Conference Champions FC Tulsa, head coach James Chambers was fired, one year after helping bring the club their first title in the 2024 USL Championship playoffs. He was replaced by assistant coach Alan McCann, who previously had won back-to-back coach of the year honors in 2018 and 2019 as the head coach of Reading United, the USL League Two affiliate of the Philadelphia Union.

Why this record matters

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 26, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q138298155. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2026, 2025, 2024 and 2018.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
