North Texas Soccer Club is a professional soccer club that competes in MLS Next Pro, the third division of American soccer. The team is owned by, and operates as the reserve team of the Major League Soccer club FC Dallas. North Texas SC currently plays most home games at Texas Health Mansfield Stadium, located in Mansfield, Texas. Before the 2022 restructuring of MLS reserve teams, the team competed in USL League One as one of the league's founding members.
History On November 2, 2018, it was announced by FC Dallas that Dallas would be granted a side to play in the newly created United Soccer League third division for 2019. The club then officially announced the name of the reserve side, North Texas SC, and crest on December 6, 2018. In the team's first season, and despite playing mostly youth players from FC Dallas, North Texas SC won the USL League One championship, having already won the inaugural regular season title. Moreover, the team announced in October that they would be moving from Toyota Stadium, where FC Dallas plays their games, to Choctaw Stadium in Arlington, Texas for the 2020 USL League One season, where they share the newly modified stadium with XFL team the Dallas Renegades and Dallas Jackals of MLR.
On December 11, 2024, North Texas SC announced that it will play all its home games in a new 7,000 seater soccer-specific stadium in Mansfield, Texas. The new stadium is set to open in 2026.
MLS Next Pro The club announced on December 6, 2021, that it was joining the inaugural 21-team MLS Next Pro season starting in 2022.
