San Jose Earthquakes II is an American professional soccer team that is located in San Jose, California. It is the reserve team of San Jose Earthquakes and participates in MLS Next Pro.
History On December 6, 2021, the San Jose Earthquakes were named as one of 21 clubs that would field a team in the new MLS Next Pro league beginning in the 2022 season.
On March 11, 2024, the Earthquakes announced that "commercial operations" of their MLS Next Pro team would be taken over by the East Bay-based The Town Group. Earthquakes II was subsequently renamed The Town FC, with the majority of home matches to be played at Saint Mary's Stadium on the campus of Saint Mary's College of California in Moraga, and three home matches in the 2024 season to be played at the team's previous home of PayPal Park in San Jose, California.
On January 20, 2026, the Earthquakes subsequently announced that after careful consideration, San Jose has decided to revive the team's original branding and bring the team's commercial operations back in-house.
Last season, San Jose’s MLS NEXT Pro team, formerly named The Town FC, enjoyed another banner year under Head Coach Dan DeGeer, who celebrated over 100 matches in charge while steering the team to the Western Conference Semifinals. In addition to securing a third consecutive berth in the MLS NEXT Pro Playoffs and back-to-back Pacific Division titles, the team amassed 14 wins and 52 points to break the 2024 team’s club records. DeGeer, who was named a finalist for Coach of the Year, will remain at the helm in 2026.
