New Mexico United will enter theU.S. Open Cup in the Second Round, to be played between April 5 and April 7. The Second Round draw took place on February 11, 2022, where it was announced that United would face the winner of the opening round match betweenPark City Red Wolves SC andLas Vegas Legends.[47] After defeating the Park City Red Wolves in the first round, Las Vegas Legends were defeated by United in the second. For the third round, New Mexico United were placed into the Mountain regional draw, along with fellow USL Championship memberPhoenix Rising,USL League One sideNorthern Colorado Hailstorm FC, andMLS sideReal Salt Lake. Along with Northern Colorado, United declined to host in this round, so they were drawn to determine who would visitWild Horse Pass, and who would visitRio Tinto Stadium. As it happened, United were drawn away to Phoenix. This made their third round match their second consecutive match-up with Phoenix.[48]
