Small State. Loud Support. U.S. Soccer Lives Here

As Rhode Island prepares for soccer’s biggest moment in 2026, one thing is already clear: the Ocean State knows how to show up for the game.

In Episode 6 of the Rhode Island Summer of Soccer podcast, host Joe Kayata talks with Kyle Lindsay, President of the American Outlaws Providence chapter, about the supporters who turn watch parties into traditions — and strangers into family.

From early-morning matches and packed bars to grassroots community-building and local economic impact, the conversation highlights why Rhode Island consistently ranks among the country’s strongest soccer viewership markets — and what Outlaws fans hope the world remembers about Rhode Island support next summer.
