Colorado Springs Pueblo, CO, October 23, 2026 —
The Colorado Springs Switchbacks have clinched a place in the USL Championship playoffs and are preparing to host FC Tulsa in their final regular-season game.
The postseason berth is secured, but the Switchbacks will likely finish fifth in the Western Conference and will not have a home playoff game. Their remaining regular-season match gives the team an opportunity to close the campaign with a win in front of its home fans before turning its attention to the playoffs.
The Switchbacks enter the game on an eight-game unbeaten streak. The team is confident in that run as it approaches the postseason, according to the trend summary. No player or coach was named, and no direct comments were provided.
The summary does not specify when the match will be played, the venue, or the playoff opponent and schedule. It also does not provide the Switchbacks’ record, their current points total, or details about how the conference standings could change. The fifth-place finish is described as likely rather than confirmed.
For now, the team’s stated focus is on the regular-season finale against FC Tulsa and the chance to finish with a victory at home. The Switchbacks have already achieved their immediate postseason objective by securing a playoff place, while their conference position means they are not expected to host a playoff game.
