Currently the league has members from Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware and Virginia competing in five regional conferences.
Playing its first season in 2020–21 as the Eastern Premier Soccer League , the league began as a partnership between the New York City–based Cosmopolitan Soccer League and the Maryland Major Soccer League. It is also an affiliate of the National Independent Soccer Association, a professionally sanctioned third division soccer association, and serves as the Northeast Region of the semi-professional NISA Nation.

History

The league was announced on July 23, 2020, in a joint effort between the Cosmopolitan Soccer League and Maryland Major Soccer League to create a regional based multi-league promotion and relegation system in the United States. The league's goal is to have merit-based promotion from local amateur leagues, including champions, with the possibility of being relegated back into the local feeder leagues at the end of the season. The initial slate of members included many of the clubs that participated in the first division of the CSL the previous season.
In the following months, the EPSL added teams from additional leagues such as the Woodbridge Soccer League and United Premier Soccer League. On September 8, 2020, the league announced that the New Jersey–based Garden State Soccer League would become a feeder league for the EPSL. A future promotion spot in the Metropolitan Conference of the EPSL will be determined in a playoff between the champion of the GSSL and the champion of the Cosmopolitan Soccer League.
On September 4, 2020, the National Independent Soccer Association announced its latest amateur league affiliation with the EPSL. It joined the previously announced Gulf Coast Premier League and Midwest Premier League in having in having an affiliation with the third division association. The affiliation includes at least two merit-based spots in the NISA Independent Cup tournament and participation on the NISA Alliance Board.
On February 20, 2025, prior to the second half of the 2024–25 season starting, the league officially changed its name to the American Premier Soccer League.
