In May 2011, the United Soccer Leagues announced it had entered into an agreement with the MISL to operate the indoor league. In September, the Chicago Kick announced that they were unable to secure an arena in time to begin play for 2011–12, but planned to join the MISL in 2012–13.
Besides the aborted team in Chicago, other franchises were added in Syracuse, Norfolk, Rochester and Wichita. Of the four, the reborn Rochester Lancers were the most successful, finishing second in league attendance and qualifying for the league playoffs.
