The Ocean City Nor’easters are excited to announce that Carey Stadium - the ‘Beach House’ - has been selected as a regional site for the opening rounds of the 2024 USL League Two Playoffs!

After a record-setting campaign that saw the Nor'easters clinch a third straight division title and qualify among the 128 teams in USL-2, the Storm will have home field advantage through the initial two rounds of the post-season.

That's right, the playoffs are coming back to OC - America's Greatest Family Resort - for the first time since 2016.

The Round of 32 matches will take place as a double-header on July 19th. The first match will start off the weekend’s action at 4:30 p.m. The Nor’easters will begin their 4th consecutive playoff appearance immediately following at 7:30 p.m.

The winners of each game will advance to the Round of 16 which will be played on Sunday, July 21st at 7 p.m.

There will be a total of three games at the Beach House. 

The Nor'easters are offering two options for fans attending in person:

A Weekend Pass may be purchased for $20, which grants access to all 3 games over the weekend.

Alternatively, the standard General Admission single game tickets are also available for $10. 

All tickets must be purchased online or at the ticket booth to be accepted.

Fans who purchase tickets online must show proof of purchase at the ticket booth to be admitted.

Fans purchasing a Weekend Pass will be given a colored bracelet to indicate their purchase. In-person buyers will receive a bracelet after purchase. Online buyers must show receipts in order to receive a bracelet.

Season tickets and sponsor tickets are not valid for playoff games.

Fans unable to attend in person will be able to watch the action as the Nor’easters continue to partner with BFA Sports Media who will provide a live broadcast of all 3 games via YouTube.
